Bad Cop: Cruiser in handicap parking embarrasses RCMP




The Oromocto, N.B., RCMP have been embarrassed after one of its squad cars was photographed in a handicap parking spot in Fredericton Junction last weekend.


Quote from the article:

The photo shows an RCMP squad car, parked outside the agency liquor store in the small New Brunswick village, and behind the car is a small sign with the blue and white handicap parking logo.

The resident who took the photo told CBC News that the officer backed into the spot, in no apparent rush.

Christyne Allain, the executive director of the Premier's Council for the Status of Persons with Disabilities, said the police should be setting a better example for the public.

"Law officers should be the ones showing a good example to other citizens of New Brunswick, so I was really shocked to see that there was an RCMP [car] parked in that disabled spot," Allain said.

RCMP District Cmdr. Mike O'Malley agreed it's not a proud day for the officer or his police force.

"The member was very embarrassed," O'Malley said.

"It was not done out of lack of respect or lack of courtesy, it's just [that] the member did not see the sign."
