Each of these sentences has a misplaced modifier. 1.Only smoke in the break room. 2.Safety goggles with indirect vents and anti-fog lenses are only allowed. 3.Every experiment almost failed; nearly 90 percent failed. 4.She saw a puppy and a kitten on the way to the store.5.Flying over the African landscape, the elephant herd looked magnificent. 6.We saw dinosaurs on a field trip on our way to the Natural History Museum
In the US, you CAN but your not allowed, without of course the required evidence. I would assume a country such of that as your own would impose a similar law. Fight it.
Hard wired detectors are very common. They are also more reliable than battery type. (The hard wired style have a battery back-up that's automatically recharged. You don't have to remember to replace the batteries ever. And during power failure, the battery takes over so that the unit is still functional.)
The trouble is, you won't get very far with a complaint, no matter who was more at-fault. There was just a documentary on the completely corrupt complaints process in various Canadian cities. Even wrongful deaths and sexual assaults (of other officers!) have been covered up, or lead to minimal penalty. I tend to side with the assumption the police officer thinks he's/she's conducting himself/herself appropriately, and that law-abiding citizens should comply, and address greivances later. I mean, you're not going to get too far trying to argue with an officer at the scene. But for the PRECISE reason you're asking this question, I've long wanted to hire a Charter/civil liberties lawyer, and DEFINE EXACTLY what Ontario residents' rights are, when it comes to police interactions. The Internet is FILLED with Americans bravely asserting their rights (not to identify themselves, etc., etc.) in the face of hostie, threatening officers who shoud know they don't have the right to demand that a citizen comply with some demand. (They're relying on te idea that weak citizens will just comply out of fear or ignorance.) i'm not afraid, but I am ignorant of my precise rights, in this regard. I would like to change that. I really should get on with that project. Ontarians need to know what they should never, ever, ever let some corrupt cop get away with.
sounds like you were really really drunk!!
