575 reasons to not throw your lit cigarette out the car window in front of @vicpdcanada. Happened in front of me on the hwy. When asked why, driver replied, "I didn't want my car to burn" as he pointed to his cup holder in console. My response, "Then don't smoke in your car."

While parked, driver flicked lit cigarette out his window. It landed on grass median. I was parked beside him. I put it out & wrote $575 ticket. Driver - I have no ashtray in car. I see people it all the time. I was planning to get out to put it out after I got off the phone.

Still processing what happened. This cowardly incident won't define me or our @vicpdcanada officers. Grateful to Chantel Moore's family for jumping to my defence, to our community for their outpouring of love & support & to the brave and dedicated #VicPD officers who shine 24/7.
Five people were arrested after Chief Manak was assaulted while honouring Chantel Moore at the B.C. Legislature today. There were no physical injuries. Martha Martin, mother of Chantel Moore, calls the assault on @ChiefManak "Terrible & unacceptable."

2 separate COVID tickets issued ($2300 & $230) by @vicpdcanada on Sat night in 2 separate house party calls. Lying to the police about # of guests, who they are, giving excuses and hiding people in bedrooms & closets doesn't help. Best tip, don't host a party in the first place.

2/2 the most awkward part was as follows: driver asking for a warning, stating it isn’t a serious matter, he’s seen lots of others do the same and they were never fined.
Driver - “I want to talk to a supervisor!”
Officer standing with me - “Sir, he’s the Chief!”
Driver - silence
