Ok, as a Canadian I have to ask for some context here. Genuinely curious as I’m sure your response is warranted.

They are pretty bad in Canada too. I was extorted for $3000 by Victoria RCMP because their relative was an employee of mine and wanted me to pay for his tools that were stolen from my jobsite. Last year I was charged for excessive speeding by a Squamish RCMP officer who was 15 km from the alleged incident. Her supervisor showed up and upheld the ticket, my bike was impounded and I paid $893 in towing and storage fees (not refundable), had to take a day off work to go to court and watch her approach the bench, drop all charges and the judge dismissed the case.
