Davids Mensah: Mario Gervais and Cbc News

davids mensah: He told CBC News that police repeatedly asked him if he had drugs on him and forcefully arrested him without telling him why, according to CBC. He was searched twice during his arrest. Davids Mensah, who is originally from Ghana, was working as a delivery man for a restaurant when he was pulled over by police in Montreal North on June 4, 2011, for having a burnt-out tail light. I didn't even get the chance to turn around, and they grabbed my arm, and they smacked my head against my car, Mensah said. He also pointed to the fact that Mensah was a young black man living in Montreal North. According to the tribunal judge, Mario Gervais, the second search was a violation of Mensah's rights.
