POLICE DO MAKE SERIOUS MISTAKES

Dear Editor - Regarding 'Drug raid signs get thumbs down, (The Guelph
mercury, Aug. 24) I can see it all now... the police, after nicely
positioning their "sign", so that all can be "in the know," proceed to
batter down the door.

The only problem encountered, as in the instance of the Ng residence (
"Hydro takes blame for wrongful bust, The Cambridge Reporter, Aug. 2), was
an error on the part of Hydro which led the police to think there was a
marijuana grow operation where there was not.

And then there are the instances of the police conducting raids ...on the
wrong residence!

Democratic societies are based on the will of the people, not the theatrics
the police dream up as a ploy for dictating mandates.

This article would have been more suitably titled "The Scarlet Sign".
