What Part of “RCMP Detachment” Did You Not See ?
A 17 year old Vancouver male was somewhat surprised, confused and embarrassed all at the same time when an Burnaby RCMP officer walked up to him recently. The young man and a friend were quite preoccupied smoking marihuana with great passion......right in front of the Burnaby Detachment.
The two were hanging around a movie set that is being shot at the Shadbolt Center, and they had no idea that the RCMP detachment was there, even though the building is clearly identified with a big sign on Deer Lake Avenue. As well the Emergency Command Vehicle visible to all the public with it’s bold identification decals identifying it as a police vehicle it would be very difficult not to “see” that the police are there. This will add to the debate that smoking marihuana can dull the senses.
