Is a Police Complaint Board (PSB) member allowed to speak out in the presence of a police community support officer?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bennett (Re), 2014 ONCPC 2504 (CanLII):
43. We conclude that a PSB member’s limits to free speech are justified by the importance of public confidence in policing as well as confidentiality and security concerns related to the position of a PSB member: see R v. Oakes 1 S.C.R. 103.
