My name is Robert Burgiss, from 1998 today I have uncovered Evidence

of police corruption in Ontario, Canada especially in Hamilton, Ontario.    

                                                                                     

Because the courts are swamped some police officers are doing sloppy investigations

 so that there is not enough evidence to file charges. And or telling the victim that

 there is not enough Evidence to file Chargers against anyone. When there really

is enough evidence. This is saving money.

 

                                       I have filed written complaints against the police officers who are doing

                                       These things. But the professional standers branch of the Hamilton

                                       Police service and the Ontario Civilian Commission on police services have

Clearly covered up my complaints.

 

I have also written to the news media about what is going on. Because I believe that

 if I can get the evidence out there for people to see there will be a public out cry

about what is going on and then some thing will be done about it. But for some

reason the news media will not do a story on it.

 

In one complaint. I complained about police not investigating a justice of the peace for

 obstructing justice. The professional Standards branch of the Hamilton police service

said your interpretation of the law in these circumstances is flawed. I then asked them

how my interpretation of the law is flawed. They said we do not give out legal advice.

Appeal to OCCPS was denied. The only reason That I can think of for them not to tell

me is they have some thing to hide.

 

In another complaint I filed a complaint against the chief of police. Because after I called

 the office of the Chief of police and told him about my other complaints he did nothing

 about what was going on. The OCCPS said that the complaints were frivolous and vexatious

 and were more then six mouths old. But I was not complaining about the other officers

I was complaining about what the Chief of police did which was not more then six mouths old.

 

In another complaint.  I complained about being falsely arrested for Trespassing. The

professional standards branch of the Hamilton police service said you were arrested for

 trespassing but it was not a false arrest because you were not charge with trespassing.

Appeal to OCCPS was denied. 

 

In another complaint. I asked the law society of Upper Canada for a review of my

complaint against my lawyer by a non lawyer governor of the law society. But they

refused to have my complaint review. When I asked them where it says they can do

 that. They would not tell me.

 

I also have evidence that shows that the Chief of Police in Hamilton Brian J. Mullen and the chair of the police services board in Hamilton Bernie Morelli have known about what is going on for years. 

 

 It is obstruction of justice to cover up a complaint against a police officer.

 

It is also obstruction of justice for a police officer to do an intentional sloppy

investigation to insure there is not enough evidence to file charges.

 

 There must be a public inquiry into the Hamilton Police service

 and the Ontario Civilian Commission on police services.

 

In June of 2009 I called CHCH television in Hamilton about doing a story about the evidence

that I have. But they still will not do it. I believe if enough people see my evidence there

will be a public out cry. So if you know someone in the news media that will do a story

on it or a way to get the story on the news please contact me. rburgiss@injusticeinontario.ca  

 

On October 19, 2009 The office of the Independent police Review Director open.

I have filed two complaints against police with the OIPRD but both of my complaints

were covered up by the OIPRD My first complaint was filed on Dec 12, 2009 about something that happen on Dec 12, 2009. The OIPRD said “We cannot proceed with your complaint as the incidents in 2005 you have referred to predate October 19, 2009, the date on which the legislation that established the OIPRD was proclaimed in force.

I have looked at the police services act and it clearly says that complaints cannot be thrown out for that reason.

Here is what the police services act says

                                           Power of Independent Police Review Director to refuse

                                  60.  (1)  The Independent Police Review Director may, in accordance with this section, decide 

                                 not to deal with a complaint made to him or her by a member of the public under this Part. 2007,

                                c. 5, s. 10.

                                         Limitation, six months

                                (2)  The Independent Police Review Director may decide not to deal with a complaint made by a

                                 member of the public if the complaint is made more than six months after the facts on which it is

                                 based occurred. 2007, c. 5, s. 10.

                                          Same

                                 (3)  In making a determination under subsection (2), the Independent Police Review Director

                                shall consider,

                              (a) whether the complainant is a minor or is under a disability within the meaning of the

                               Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005;

                              (b) whether the complainant is or was subject to criminal proceedings in respect of the events

                              underlying the complaint; and

                              (c) whether, having regard to all the circumstances, it is in the public interest for the complaint to

                               be dealt with. 2007, c. 5, s. 10.

                                          Frivolous, vexatious, etc.

                                 (4)  The Independent Police Review Director may decide not to deal with a complaint made by a

                                 member of the public if, in his or her opinion, one of the following applies:

                               1. The complaint is frivolous or vexatious or made in bad faith.

                               2. The complaint could be more appropriately dealt with, in whole or in part, under another Act

                               or other law.

                               3. Having regard to all the circumstances, dealing with the complaint is not in the public interest.

                               2007, c. 5, s. 10.

 

 

I then filed internal complaints with the OIPRD

The Director looked at the complaints and said they did nothing wrong.

So I filed a complaint against the Director of the OIPRD with the Attorney

General’s office. The Attorney General’s office said that allegations against

the OIPRD must be quite serious in order to warrant investigation and remedy.

I then filed a complaint against the Attorney General’s Office with the

Ombudsman of Ontario I told them that if the OIPRD covering up complaints

Against police is not serious to warrant an investigation then what is.

But the Ombudsman’s Office would not do an investigation.

Even my MPP Ted McMeekin will not help. 

 

                                          In my second complaint with the OIPRD I complained about police dropping an

                                          investigation for no reason. The OIPRD said The OIPRD is aware of your concerns

                                    however the Director has decided not to proceed with your complaint as it was

                                    determined to be not in the public interest to do so and the alleged conduct, i.e.

                                    dropping the investigation of your criminal libel file, does not constitute a breach either

                                    of the police Code of Conduct or the police services act.

 

                                    I then wrote to the OIPRD and asked them to tell me what the evidence was for them

                                    throwing out my complaint. But they are refusing to tell me.                                                                                              

 

                                                 The reason for the name injustice in Ontario is because this kind of police corruption

 is going on in other places in Ontario. Not just in Hamilton.

 

My hope is that by putting this evidence out there for people to see it will cause some

 thing to be done about what is going on.

 

In May of 2011 I called CHCH news and talk to the assignment director. She said she was interested in my story about the OIPRD throwing out my complaint. So I copy the complaint and sent it to her. I called her a month later she said she had sent the copy of the complaint to their lawyers to do the research into the laws. Now they are saying that the story is just to big for them to do.

 

I have also call the assignment director for CTV she said to send her a copy of the complaint. Will call her back soon. She said that they just do not do these kind of stories

 

So the best way to get the news media to do a story on something you have. Is to first call them and ask for the assignment director or assignment editor.

 

I have written to the RCMP because covering up a complaint against the police is obstruction of justice. They said without a request from the provincial government the RCMP cannot do an investigation. I then asked them where it says they need a request from the provincial government but they would not tell me. So I am thinking of suing the RCMP.

 

On  January 03, 2012 I filed a law suit against the RCMP.
