Police officers have been accused of engaging in “disgusting, appalling” behaviour as they went to “extreme lengths” to prove they were not cops.Members of the force in British Columbia, Canada are said to have penetrated a colleague using a vegetable, defecated on another and exposed their genitalia, according to Global News and CT.Policing experts in the country are now calling for an immediate overhaul of undercover tactics.The BC Municipal Undercover Program was shut down after a workshop in May which left several participants so disturbed by the incident that they reported it to their superiors, with nine officers reportedly under investigation.Mike Farnworth, British Columbia’s solicitor general, described the allegations as “disgusting” and “appalling” and authorities in the province have said that an independent investigation will now be launched.“If these allegations are correct, then obviously some of these officers thought things were appropriate that are manifestly inappropriate,” said Kent Roach, a professor of law at the University of Toronto and author.Roach also expressed concerns over the liberal use of deceptive and even violent tactics which Canadian police are allowed to use in undercover operations.In recent years, criticism has focused on Canada’s frequent use of a tactic known as the “Mr Big” technique, used when police suspect a person has committed a serious crime, but cannot prove it due to a lack of evidence.The technique involves recruiting the suspect into a fake criminal organisation in which they are encouraged to perform risky and sometimes illegal activities as ways of “proving” themselves worthy to join.The end goal of the exercise is to have them meet the gang’s “boss” and confess to

Audrina Patridge is finding it hard to believe that MTV is rebooting “The Hills.”

The New York Times.Holden was charged with public lewdness, but the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office later dismissed the charges against him.As part of the lawsuit, the Legal Aid Society alleged that the increase in lewdness arrests in Port Authority bathrooms throughout the 2000s and 2010s was part of a coordinated effort by officers to boost “quality of life” arrest statistics, a term referring to minor infractions that allegedly create an unsafe and disorderly environment where serious crimes can more easily flourish.The Legal Aid Society charged that Port Authority police continued to engage in undercover restroom stings — primarily targeting men perceived to be gay or bisexual — in full knowledge of the fact that most of those arrested would “ultimately plead guilty to lesser charges to avoid public embarrassment and humiliation, costly legal fees, and jail sentences, as well as suffer reputational and professional harm associated with the false charges.”The Legal Aid Society noted that many of those arrested in 2014 accepted plea deals for “violations” in order to make the charges against them go away. (Violations are a class of offense that are not considered crimes but can potentially carry sentences of up to 15 days in prison.)Others who were arrested reported similar experiences, insisting that the alleged behavior for which they were arrested had never occurred.According to testimony from one man who was arrested and accused of public lewdness, the arresting officer refused to tell him why he was being arrested, only remarking “you gay people.”He pleaded guilty to a violation, paid a fine, and attended court-ordered therapy, but says the experience negatively impacted his mental health.
