New Brunswick Police Commission is visited by Fredericton Blogger with Video Camera in hand!!
Fredericton blogger wants New Brunswick Police Act changed|MICHAEL STAPLE Daily Gleaner (Sept 19, 2016)
An outspoken Fredericton blogger is calling for changes to the province’s Police Act after a complaint he launched was not investigated because more than a year had passed.
The New Brunswick Police Act sets a time limit of 12 months for a complaint to be filed.
Charles LeBlanc, known for his outspoken public battles with law enforcement, wants the one-year statute of limitation regarding complaints removed.
LeBlanc said he filed a complaint on July 14 against four New Brunswick police officers regarding a situation alleged to have happened on Jan. 1, 2015.
But, he said, the complaint was turned down because too much time had elapsed.
“Given the prescribed time limitations of the Police Act, we are, regrettably, unable to process your complaint,” The New Brunswick Police Commission said in July 19 letter to LeBlanc.
LeBlanc said the commission needs to start talking to people who have been affected by the system.
“If it is happening to me, what other persons is this happening to?” LeBlanc said in an interview. “The people on the street, what can be done, what can be helped to protect the innocent. The citizen must be protected.”
Efforts are underway in the province to modernize the Police Act with stakeholders having met at least twice this summer in Fredericton in efforts to do so.
The Police Act governs municipal policing in the province.
Police chiefs are asking, among other things, that the act be changed so that arbitration hearings can be held more quickly.
They also want the power to suspend officers without pay, something they can’t do under provisions contained in the existing act.
The provincial statute, enacted in 1977 with the Code of Conduct and Regulations being revamped in 2007, mandates that suspended officers be paid while criminal and Police Act investigations and proceedings take place. Suspension without pay can only be applied once all due processes are completed, the officer is found at fault and the loss of pay is strictly related to discipline.
Steve Roberge, executive director of the New Brunswick Police Commission, said the statute limitation penned in the Act was not part of their 31-issue position paper completed earlier this year.
“Mr. LeBlanc could challenge the one-year statute via a judicial review,” Roberge said in an email.
LeBlanc said he’s not impressed.
“They tell me, because of time limitations - one year - they can’t proceed, they can’t investigate this,” LeBlanc said. “There is something very, very wrong if a person like me - who just happens to put a lot of motions in - [can’t] find out what is going on.”

As someone who quite often visits the Legislative Library, the friendliest one in Canada, and as someone who has been visiting it for 61 years, I am absolutely astounded with the disproportionate security arrangements that were placed in effect in the Legislature this week.
Until about three years ago, one could enter the Legislature and walk down hall to the Library. At that time, a new security system was put in place. Just inside the front door of the Legislature, there was a desk for a commissionaire and you signed in, giving your name, where you were from, and your telephone number. This was intrusive but basically acceptable and seemed to work quite well from a security perspective.
But now a system approved by the secretive Legislative Administrative Committee (LAC) last year has been put into effect that would do justice to an international airport. To call this a disproportionate approach is an understatement.
Now, visitors (public servants have a pass system) have to empty their pockets and put the contents in a tray and go through a metal detector. A commissionaire then types your name and phone number, and gives you an entry pass with a computer generated bar code.
All of this is so over the top one does not know how to react. On the positive side, there will be a system in place to deal with school children who visit the Legislature. I almost feel violated by the new security system now in place. We're dealing with a Legislature, not a terrorist zone.

Yes, how times have changes and Wendell Fulton never had a clue.
I noticed this long time Liberal researcher at the Legislature Library a few weeks ago.
This individual always has his head in books. He does a lot of research.
I might add that he has been on my email list for a couple of years and he enjoys my blog.
He asked me where did I get all the pictures of Bernard Lord?
I bought Wendell to the computer at the Legislative Library and told the educated individual in the old days?
If a person wanted a picture of a public figure? We would go over the books in the library but in today’s world? That’s almost non-existant.
We went to google image.
I wrote Bernard Lord and my blog site showed up on the first page.
As a matter of fact there’s a picture of me and Bernard shaking hands.
I wrote the irvings?
The same action.
I told Wendell that many of my visitors are from people who are searching certain names or issues.
It’ll be there forever and ever!
He didn’t have a clue that it was so easy? Maybe from now on I made his job a little easier.

I quickly went at the library and read his work.
Not bad at all!!!! It's sort of a blog. He brings up issues and voice an opinion on it.
This guy is very intelligent when it comes to politics.
