Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act

• They are accused of shooting and killing an 18-month-old baby, Jameson Shapiro, and his father William Shapiro in November 2020 in the Kawartha Lakes area northeast of Toronto.
• Police officer trials are important for reasons other than simply holding an individual officer accountable for a particular act.
• Police trials also spur public debate on how repressive state force is administered.

Shifting public policy

• A prime example of trials changing public policy is the 1985 United States Supreme Court ruling in Tennessee v. Garner that effectively prohibited the practice of shooting fleeing suspects in the back.
• Courts in Canada have stopped or clarified when police can use overly invasive investigative techniques such as telephone wiretaps.
• But there have been few occasions for police use-of-force practice and policy to be openly interrogated so that jurors could decide the “reasonableness” of officer conduct.

Regis Korchinski-Paquet death

• A case that could have gone to trial involved the falling death of 29-year-old Regis Korchinski-Paquet in Toronto in May 2020.
• She soon fell to her death.
• The Special Investigations Unit’s report into Korchinski-Paquet’s death states that the decision-making officer told investigators he believed the best option was to refer the matter to the Emergency Task Force.

Jameson Shapiro’s death

• The Kawartha Lakes OPP officers will be tried for manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death.
• What happened next will likely become clear at trial as officers opened fire, striking William and killing Jameson on the scene.
• William was suspected of being armed — a gun was recovered at the scene — and officers were told Jameson was in the car’s back seat.

Not just about convictions

• Increasing the number of criminal trials for police officers won’t necessarily result in convictions.
• But convictions aren’t their only purpose.
• While public trust in police is eroding across the country, most Canadians still trust police.
