Brian Smallshaw, a web developer and historian from Salt Spring Island, said he suspected the force was breaking the law and breaching rights when arresting activists during protests against old-growth logging on Vancouver Island.
But now that the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission has upheld his allegations, he knows it.
In a scathing report completed last month, the commission found the Mounties wrongfully arrested Smallshaw while he was hiking three years ago when he wouldn’t submit to a search he considered unconstitutional.
