| | | I was handcuffed!!!
I was handcuffed this morning by police. I worked in the garden with a small kitchen knife to dig deep grassroots. Then I realized that I need to buy some tomatoes, and the place to sell them is just across the street. The small knife is dirty and not good for my pocket, so I carried it in my hand. I went to the place, but it is not open yet. When I was going back to my garden, I passed a tennis court. A female player was playing so skillfully. I decided to have a watch before returning to the garden. I sat there for a while before police came. The police asked me to drop the knife and belly on the ground, hands up. They handcuffed me with extra unnecessary force. Later they told me I was reported walking with a knife. I was hurt emotionally and shocked. The policeman explained that walking with a knife in public is a crime in Canada. But I do not think I created any threat to anybody. Now the thing is over, but I do not feel well. I want compensation, or at least apology from the police. Can I get the apology or compensation? |

In the US, when you get caught walking around holding a knife like you did, you get sent straight to jail (do not pass "go"), where you are assigned to the biggest inmate available to be his prison bitch for the entire duration of your sentence.
In Canada, you only have to be the prison bitch on weekends.

| | | You question has already been answered.
The majority of the folks here frequent other boards as well.
To sum up... when you carry a knife in open view on a walk and then stare at people on a tennis court, you should plan on being handcuffed by any civilized country on the planet.

Instead of asking for an apology or compensation, go buy some cheese.
