JUDGE AWARDS VICTIM SOME OF YOUR MONEY

In a voluntary society, a private security service operating like this would go out of business AND the men/women who harmed another would be responsible for remedy themselves, not you.

In a Violence based society like we currently have, the politicians will send men and women with guns to steal your house if you don’t pay awards handed out by people in funny robes claiming to be honourable. – VP

A judge has ruled in favour of a man who sued two Winnipeg police officers for unlawfully searching his bag and injuring his nose while pulling him from his car at a traffic stop more than four years ago.

Manitoba Justice Lori T. Spivak awarded Rahim Dostmohamed $13,500 in damages in a decision on June 27. He had sought $20,000-$25,000, but Spivak cited other similar cases suggesting that amount was too high given the details of the case.

Dostmohamed alleged the officers unlawfully searched his bag and slammed his face into the side of his car, causing him to bleed from his nose and mouth for days, when he was pulled from his vehicle in January 2015.

A doctor who examined him at an emergency room later that day said his nose appeared to be fractured.

Dostmohamed happens to be a graphic designer who helped create the Winnipeg police canine unit calendar for 2016.

Spivak found Dostmohamed’s account was more consistent and credible than those of police.

She concluded that Dostmohamed was assaulted when he was pulled from his vehicle, though she couldn’t be sure Kapka intended to injure Dostmohamed.

She ruled Dostmohamed’s injuries were corroborated by medical evidence, and she found police weren’t justified in searching his bag.
