With a batch of court documents attached.Robert Menard

So this is going to make some very stupid heads explode. (Hello Arayder, Burnaby49 and other Quatloosers.)
A few years ago I was accused by some of my detractors of being a liar, when I stated that I had attended a courthouse in Vancouver, identified myself as a peace officer, presented my badge, and was acknowledged as such by an Inspector, the Sheriffs and Deputies there.
The arguments of the detracting Quatloosers, was that it could not possibly have happened, as there was no record of me facing criminal charges, and if I had done so, I would have been charged. Therefore it didn’t happen, and therefore I am a liar. That is sadly what passes for logic with them.
See what they do is they decide what their position or opinion is prior to examining any evidence, and then they simply reject any statements or claims if it does not support their position. They do not allow their position to be determined by the evidence, they accept or reject evidence based upon its effect on their position. (I told you they were stupid)
So I finally got the response to a Freedom of Information Request I did concerning that event.
Here is what it shows:
1) I did in fact, present myself as a peace officer numerous times at that court house. I did so verbally and by presenting a badge identifying myself as a peace officer.
2) They repeatedly returned my badge to me.
3) They did not try to charge me.
What it does not show but which I would testify to, is that the Sergeant told his Deputies to return the badge to me as I was in fact, a peace officer. You should have seen the look on their faces.
One should also realize, that if I presented myself as a peace officer and I was lying, they would have had a duty to charge me and confiscate my badge, and failing to do so would have generated criminal liability upon them. Conversely, if I was a peace officer and they refused to return my badge to me, they would have incurred criminal liability for that. They repeatedly chose to return my badge to me, and neither of us faced criminal liability for these events.
What this means ultimately is that any subsequent representation on my part of being a peace officer, could not be a ‘false representation’ and at worst could only be deemed a mistaken representation. The difference at law being a ‘false representation’ is an incorrect representation which one knows to be incorrect, and a ‘mistaken representation’ is an incorrect representation which one honestly believes to be true.
Now I am just waiting on some other FOIR documents from the RCMP, concerning their investigation of me and their conclusion as to whether or not I am a peace officer. Hint: They chose not to charge me after I represented myself to them as a peace officer and demanded they charge me if they did not want to accept me as a peace officer, and we would let a judge decide.
Finally, the pages withheld likely contained emails between the Inspector and The Crown and outlined the legal argument supporting my claim of being a peace officer. (It’s very strong) They likely also contained arguments concerning our right to pay for restaurant meals using a consumer note. In the end, the charges were completely withdrawn, with the Crown deciding to not have that right judicially examined and determined. Instead, they gave me a letter which acknowledges my actions as not criminal.
Enjoy!

So Rob has conlusively proven that he could walk into the Vancouver Provincial Courthouse flashing his toy badge! We all know what this means. Rob now has almost all the evidence he needs to totally defeat those bogus charges in Toronto. As soon as Rob gets that second batch of documents he'll be going back to Toronto to face the charges and come out of that courtroom in triumph, a free man and a court-certified peace officer!
Now, with that new evidence, he can finally prove to us all that he was right all along by confronting his accusers and winning in the only venue that counts, not FaceBook, but the Toronto courthouse. Congratulation Rob! I await the continuation of your trial with eager anticipation.
Right Rob? Right?
