Toronto Star Series on Police Who Lie

The Toronto Star recently published an investigative series on Police who lie:

Internal investigations into four cases — three in Peel, one in York — were started after the Star brought the courtroom misconduct to the departments’ attention. Compounding the lack of oversight is a lack of accountability to the public." (from the April 26 article "Police who lie: False testimony often goes unpunished")
Articles in the series include:
