Haller vs RCMP/Williams Lake (City)

The City of Williams Lake is party to a new lawsuit from Jamie Haller against the BC RCMP for unspecified financial compensation for physical damages she received from 3 RCMP Officers on the night of September 10th, 2011.  Neither the City or BC RCMP are commenting on this case.  The lawsuit was filed in BC Supreme Court earlier today

The City is involved because it is responsible for any torts (civil acts) committed by RCMP Officers who serve as local police as per the RCMP Agreement between the City and the Province of BC

Huffington Post - BC has the full details here

I don't expect that this case will be heard for several months and in any event, I don't expect that this civil case will have any bearing on November' civic election however the outcome of the Don DeGagne civil trial will almost certainly have an impact depending on the BC Supreme Court's ruling...
