Toronto cop admits he ‘inaccurately’ testified, did not see drugs in plain view during arrest

A Toronto officer has admitted he never saw drugs he claimed were in “plain view” inside a man’s car and then testified inaccurately at the preliminary hearing in the case, a police tribunal heard Tuesday. 

The behaviour was part of a pattern of repeated misconduct where Const. Richard White, a cop with 18 years on the job, left “large gaps” in his notes on at least 20 occasions between April and July 2017, potentially putting criminal cases at risk, a police prosecutor told a tribunal Tuesday.
