Cop crusaders fAfER V ^ ) not above law

Metro's finest are mad — mad because they have been slapped on the wrist by the NDP. In fact the bad boys

in blue are so peeved they have decided to throw a little tantrum.

At 12:01 a.m. on October 5, Toronto's police force began their work to rule action. They are protesting against NDP for requiring

them to fill out a report each time they unholster their gun, be checked by the Special Investigations Unit, and to conduct an investigation on minority relations. During this protest they are refusing to wear their identifying badge numljers, give out sum- monses, parking tickets, or wear regulation caps. So now we have some 5,000 rebellious cops roaming the street without their identifying numbers.

The phrase "work to rule" is a little unusual under the circum-

stances. Their goal is to regain all power — basically they want to rule themselves and be accountable to no one. They are demand- ing that they have the right to be the employee, supervisor, and employer.
