Immigration: Tim Shields

Drunk Tank Dept: “What is at issue here is the level of consent that could have been given by one or both of the women in consideration of the fact that they had both been brought into cells for being drunk in public,” Insp. Shields said in an interview, according to Globe And Mail. The women had been arrested in two unrelated incidents for causing a disturbance and being drunk in public and were being held in a cell that is monitored by closed-circuit video, Insp. Shields said and spokesman Inspector Tim Shields said the concern centres around the fact that both women had been arrested for public intoxication and were in a cell commonly referred to as the “drunk tank” at the time. The Mounties issued a news release Tuesday detailing the allegations that, for seven minutes on Aug. 18, four RCMP officers, two civilian cell guards and a civilian watch clerk – all of them men – watched the two women engage in what appeared to be consensual sex without intervening. As reported in the news.
