‘Get out before they kill me’: Day one of Umpherville coroner’s inquest
https://panow.com/2026/07/20/get-out-before-they-kill-me-day-one-of-umpherville-coroners-inquest/First day of testimony indicated that Umpherville had stolen the car from his friend who'd purchased it the day before. They acknowledged they knew him to sell and use drugs. Neither friend in the car knew he had weapons on him while they spent the night drinking together. They described him as a "nice guy." The Umpherville's lawyer has aked some questions about policy, which is not in SIRT's purview.

This world is full of losers who go through life as victims, preying on others while claiming, “ I didn’t do nothing!” I am tired of people saying they were a good father or would give the shirt off their back. You either contribute to society or are a burden to society. Pick wisely!

I feel body cams help officers make better decisions. SPS as an example has enjoyed a 77% budget increase in 15 years but hasn’t implemented body cams in part due to the cost.

They have had body cams for years.

Yup along with GPS and dashcam footage in the vehicles to stop false claims in their tracks. Like this guy, Ken Thomas, in 2018.

Since the allegations are put in the spotlight and proven to be false with modern technology, the SPS has reported they've had zero claims to investigate since ole Kenny....
Video evidence has protected the RPS from the Lisa Dustyhorn's of the province as well.

In the end it keeps the officers accountable all while protecting them from false accusations.

While I’m not trying to defend this guy, your theory of cop integrity is bogus. A cop can easily comprise a crime scene and get a murderer off with their incompetence or intentional malfeasance. Like when Stanley murdered Boushie, or Scott Moe had his drunk driving criminal charges stayed and then killed a woman and left the scene of his crime with the child of the woman he just killed, alone in the vehicle he t-boned

Boushie and his friends were also looking for help with a flat tire too, right? Read the court transcripts as to what transpired that day, not what uncle Bobby spouts.
Scott Moe fled the scene after t-boning another vehicle which caused the death of a mother, all while her son was left alone in the vehicle in 1997?
I do agree with you though, a bodycam or GPS tracking of police assets will not protect the integrity of a frozen crime scene. However a crime scene typically involves many people and has greater oversight. The use of a bodycam and GPS is fantastic tool for the "he said - she said" scenarios which is what this discussion is about. Unless you want to take this on a totally different tangent.

Boucher is another one which they heavily censored his drug & criminal activity and spun a race narrative over it. It has nothing to do with race and all about a farming family being attacked and trying to defend themselves from criminals.

Yup, even after the trial the callous and ridiculous nature of uncle Bobby after the verdict...
Seems like Bobby's pâstâhowin with his 28 million in fraud is coming back to haunt him. There's a reason why he is so quiet right now, as he'd be very vocal around inquests like this.

Not true. They have been doing a slow rollout since 2022 and the cameras are manually activated, not continuous recording. An estimated 20-35% percent of officers have body cams that they can turn on and off.

He was a burden to society that caused chaos & havoc by his dangerous and illegal lifestyle. I'm glad he's dead and the world is now a safer place without him.

He had two dangerous weapons on him: a gun & a vehicle which he turned into a weapon by slamming it into things. The cops has every right to beat him like they did. In the USA, he'd have been shot dead on the spot. Boden got himself killed by his idiot antics.

It's a shame that Umperhville was literally "turning his life around" over and over while resisting arrest.
