Very scary and why do they always go for the individual camera? Should people be allow to video everything that is said after they are arrested? Why only the cops are allow to do a video???
This is a copy of the following message you sent to NB Police Commission via New Brunswick Police Commission
This is an inquiry email via http://www.nbpolicecommission.ca/site/ from:
Charles LeBlanc
I want the New Brunswick Police Commission to investigate two members of the Edmundston Police Force < This complaint is against Deputy Chief Andre Madore and SGT Rejean Couturier. > and the members of the Fredericton Police Force.
On November 8th at around 1:00pm, I was standing at the corner of Brunswick and St.John Street. As a Blogger, I confront MLA'S heading towards the New Brunswick Legislature for stories.
I noticed two men heading towards me in Black Suits. These strangers separated once they came 10 to 15 feet from me.
One guy quickly stood behind me and the other quickly showed me a badge saying - Monsieur LeBlanc I am the Police Chief of the Edmundston Police Force. Can you come with us for a drive at the Police Station. < in French >
I quickly went for my camera because I didn't know these two individuals and I don't believe that the Chief of Police from the Edmundston Police Force would travel all the way to the Capital to speak with me.
I said - What is he doing? Why is he behind me? I told Edmundston Police officer Andre Madore.
Andre Madore identified as the police Chief asked if i wanted to go at the Station?
I said no. Edmundston Police officer Sgt Rejean Couturier said - I am the Police in charge from Edmundston.
I said - Why are you behind me?
They repeated they were Cops from Edmundston.
I asked - If they were speaking Quebecois?
Andre Madore said - Yes but Rejean Couturier said he spoke - Le Brayon.
I asked them because I had a difficult time to understand their French because I speak Le chiac and I'm from Memramcook.
They told me they wanted to speak with me about the issue of "defamatory Libel"
I said - Lets speak English.
They switched to English.
I had to tell them again to not get too close. I added that I had the camera on and pointed to the other cameras in the area.
They said - That's good.
I asked Andre Madore the reason they did not come to my house?
He did not answer.
He said - Well... we are here now. We saw you. We decided we wanted to talk to you.
I asked - How did you know me?
He said - Like I am trying to tell you. I am with the City of Edmundston Police Force.
I asked - Are you R.C.M.P. < While telling them to stay back >
He said - Let me talk to you.
I replied - I had 3 double double coffee and I have ADHD!
We would like to talk to you about Defamatory Libel.
I said - AGAIN??
He said - Yes, in regards to the Fredericton Police Force.
He said - Several of them and the ones you called Pedophiles.
I said - This is 2016 right?
Rejean Couturier said it was November 8th.
Andre Madore said while laughing said - Why is this important?
I said - Because I taught this was all through in 2012 with the Bernard Richard's report.
Andre Madore - Those are still on your Blog. Those videos are still on your Blog. Where you are calling Fredericton Police Officers pedophiles.
I said - Did you know the Fredericton Police Force accuse me of exploiting kids for Sex? At this point, I quickly grabbed the form they have sent to Rogers < internet company > quote - In accordance with my duties and authority as a Peace Officer, I am conducting a criminal investigation relating to a child Sexual Exploitation Offense. It is an official request for an account information regarding a Libel investigation dated October 28th 2011 investigating officers Robb Costello, Bobbi Simmons- Beauchamp and Sergeant Ed Smith.
Andre Madore then said - We want to talk to you about that but we like to do it in an interview room.
I said - Noooo....that's ridiculous.
At that point Andre Madore then said - Well Charles, then we are going to place you under arrest.
I said - No..I don't think so!
He grabbed me and I yell - GET THE R.C.M.P.!!! GET THE R.C.M.P.!! I DON'T KNOW YOU!!! I DON'T KNOW YOU!!!!
HEY!!! NO! NO! NO! NO!! I don't know you. Leave me alone. Get the R.C.M.P. here.
Don't grab etc etc...while running in the middle of busy King Street with two strangers chasing me.
Andre Madore yelled - STOP!!!
I repeated my objections of being grabbed. I began to yell for the R.C.M.P.!!
They kept on yelling - STOP!!! They continued to grabbed at me in the middle of King Street.
Then I yelled repeatedly - GET THE POLICE to the dozens of bystanders.
Andre Madore said- We are going to go!!
I said- No! You are not taking my anywhere.
I repeated my previous objections and asked again for the Cops while they continued to grab me. I shouted You could be Mafia for all I know.
I said - You hurt my shoulder!!!
They said - Well yes...you did that yourself. They both shouted - STOP RESISTING!!!
I repeated myself in shouting - STAY AWAY!!! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU PEOPLE ARE!!!
I repeated for the need of an Ambulance. They said - You are coming with us!!!
I said - No!
They said - YOU ARE UNDER ARREST RIGHT NOW!!!
I said - I would not get into their car because they were in plain clothes.
Andre Ouellette the Executive Assistant to Minister of Public Safety Denis Landry arrived at the scene.
I asked him if he was responsible for this???
Andre and the plain clothes individual all told me to relax.
I said - Ok...get the R.C.M.P. here.
The Cops then told me they were taking me to R.C.M.P. Headquarters.
I said - No!!! STOP TOUCHING ME!!!
They once again told me that I was under arrest.
Andre Madore told me that I should know Rejean Couturier because I have supposedly seen him before.
Rejean Couturier then proceeded to explain to me that he met with me at my house concerning a case ordered by Dan Bussieres < 4 years earlier >
Here's the video....I forgot his face and name. Why is Rejean Couturier coming after me AGAIN????
He wanted to charge me with criminal code 300 4 years ago also -
I repeated the fact that I wanted a uniform Cop and stop grabbing me. They then said they wanted to take me to Oromocto R.C.M.P..
I said - I am not going there.
The Cops told me they were going to bring me.
I said - I wanted a lawyer.
They said - Ok..you can see a lawyer.
I said - Do I have the right to a lawyer?
He said- Yes, you do. Lets go. We need to go to a Police Station if you want to see a lawyer.
They tried to grab me again! Then they tried to grab my camera. I put it in my pocket.
I said - Am I under arrest and for what?
For defaming members of the Fredericton Police Force.
I said - Which one?
They replied - Matt Myers, Robb Costello, Frederick L'oiseau, Darrell Carter, Yves Despres and two others!
Rejean Couturier - Come on Charles.....
Just then a citizen arrive on a bicycle and began making a video with his camera. He asked - What was going on?
Again??? I asked for the Cops and Ambulance.
The cops said - Come with us.
No!!! You hurt my shoulder!!! - I replied!
The cops yelled - STOP RESISTING!!! ..and so on....
Finally after 6 and 20 seconds of my filming this confrontation they agreed to phone a uniform member of the Fredericton Police Force.
I once AGAIN told them that I have a mental illness and ADHD!!!
I told the Cops that I have a lawsuit against the members of the Fredericton Police Force.
I asked - If they knew about the case?
They said - No. I don't know about that.
I then said - Ahhhhh!!!! There's a Cop!!! OK... lets < Fredericton Police arrive to the scene one minutes after being called by Rejean Couturier >
I told the Fredericton Police officer < Mike Wilson > - Now Mike! Mike? Are you involved in this???
He said - Charles? What is going on??
I said - You tell me I'm not running away. Don't worry about it.
Rejean Couturier - Ok.
Mike Wilson - No, I don't know why they're here either. I have no idea.
Rejean Couturier - We are placing him under arrest but he won't come with us......< sic >......
We are going to bring him to the Oromocto Detachment for questioning but he doesn't want to go there.
I said - OF COURSE NOT!!!
Rejean Couturier - So he wanted a uniform officer and that's when we call you guys.
I said - I don't know who you people are?
Mike Wilson - Come on over here buddy...Charles...Charles...settle down...I'm going to be honest with you...I don't know what's going on either.
......Ummmmm......
They are Police Officers..one is the Chief of Edmundston and the other is the Deputy Chief.
The Sgt of the Fredericton Police Force Dwight Doyle told me they were the Deputy Chief and Sargent.
I said - I want these people charge and I want their names. They grabbed me...I want them charge!!!! I am not going with these guys. You guys arrest me in uniforms ...no problem!! I am not going with those two guys...I don't know who they are?? They could be C.S.I.S.or whatever.
Mike Wilson - Charles, come and sit in my car just for a moment..calm down and we are going to try to figure all this out?
I said - I am not running..trust me. I am not running...< Because they were VERY close to me >
Mike Wilson - They are Policemen.
I said - They just came out of nowhere and suddenly they said - Charles? You are under arrest for libel.
They are coming after me again. Do you have some Ritalin or marijuana Mike?
Mike Wilson - No! I just want you to settle down for the sake of your health. I don't have any water.
Executive Assistant to Minister of Public safety Denis Landry Andre Ouellette once again came to the scene.
I said - Is this the way you do stuff? Send tow God damn Cops after me???
Mike Wilson - Remember your health. Settle down!!
I said - I am not going with those two guys. You will have to handcuff me and put me on the ground. They are in plain clothes. Could be C.S.I.S., Strangers. I am not going there and get beat up. I don't think so!!!
Mike Wilson - ..and I don't want you to get beat up. I don't want you to get all work up like this. You are all work up.
I said - They grabbed me and I have to go to the hospital. Do you have a couple of pills Mike?
Mike Wilson - No...
I said - What are you f.....good for? < chuckle >
Mike Wilson - Lets just get this thing figure out for your health.
< Mike try to calm me down for the next minute or so >
Fredericton Police Officer Sgt Dwight Doyle said - The Edmundston Police said he is under arrest already for something that's on his Blog so they want to take you to our Station and talk to you.
Are you listening to me Charles? I don't speak French ok?
I said - No..No..No..that's allright.
Mike Wilson - I will take you in. How's that???
Dwight Doyle - These guys are Police Officers from the City of Edmundston.
I said - Do you know that?
Dwight Doyle - Yes, this is the Chief and Sargent from Edmundston.
I said - They got the Chief of Edmundston Police coming after me?
Doyle - Mike is going to bring you at the Police Station. They are going to read your rights on Camera.
.......................................
I said - I have ADHD! I asked - Who is the Chief?
Doyle - You are under arrest for Libel. You will find out at the station.
I said - I am under arrest for Libel???
Doyle - Yes.
I said - Now Bobbi Simmons came over my place in 2012 with you guys and charge me with libel.
Doyle - I don't think it's the same thing?
I said - It is the same thing..River Rat Matt Myer and L'oiseau...what are you guys doing???
Mike - It is not the same case. That's what he's trying to tell you.
I said - He mentioned..I got it on tape..he mentioned names..the same case < Names> as in the Inquiry of Bernard Richard.
Doyle - Why don't we go and deal with this all on camera?
I said - Noooo...I'm not going in front of a camera.
Doyle - Yes you are! You are under arrest. You are going at the Police Station.
I said - Ok..excuse me...are you arresting me?
My name is Doyle and No. they are arresting you. You are already under arrest.
I said - So? Are we going to the Police Station?

Here's the video -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g7SHv3sNLA
There are so many unanswered questions in this case that I don't know where to begin.
1- The " Officers " accosted me on the street < Corner of King and St John Street near the New Brunswick Legislature.
Seemingly an inappropriate action by people who have no Jurisdiction in Fredericton.
2- This person < now identifies as Andre Madore > told me and Fredericton Police Officers told me that he was the Chief of Police and his partner was the Deputy Chief.
Later he changed his mind saying he was the Deputy Chief and his partner was the Sgt.
3- They arrested me under the Criminal Code 300. This charge seem to be the same information as they had in 2012.
In 2012, they arrested me with the same charge by the same members of the Fredericton Police Force. I was charged under the Criminal Code 301. This seem to be Double Jeopardy.
4- They < Police of Edmundston > said I was under arrest. Tried to arrest me. Did not succeed. The Fredericton Police intervened and took me to the Police Station to straighten the matter out. When they were asked directly by Police Mike Wilson if I was under arrest? They said - No.
5- At 3:03 in the video at the Police Station. Fredericton Police officer Sgt. Bobbi Simmons-Beauchamp's lawyer name was mentioned by Jason Forward < a Fredericton Police Officer >while I was in the lobby at the Fredericton Police Station. Why was Bobbi Simmons's lawyer mentioned?
6- The Officers from the Edmundston Police Force were playing games with my mental Illness < ADHD > by confronting me on the street. Notice in the video before the wrestling match, Deputy Chief Andre Madore was smirking at his partner. He was goading me. Why?
7- Edmundston Police Sgt Rejean Couturier quickly stood behind me at the beginning. Making me VERY uncomfortable.
8- Did the Edmundston Police officers have jurisdiction to arrest a citizen in the City of Fredericton? Did someone direct them to arrest me on the street?
9- I requested on MANY occasions for a uniform officer. Do they have the right to ignore the wishes of a citizen who demands that an uniform officer be present?
10 - Fredericton Police Sgt in charge Dwight Doyle was not aware of their presence or their intentions. Should the Fredericton Police Force have been inform of the presence of another Police force in their City?
11- They have been working on the case for one year and a half. They told the media two years. The Fredericton Police Force didn't have knowledge of this case? Who did and who pays?
12- I was told by the Deputy Chief of the Edmundston Police " Andre Madore " that they DID NOT read the Bernard Richard Report that was made public on December 6th 2012 after my place was raided by the Fredericton Police Force. I was charge under the criminal code 301. Why would they be investigating without all the evidence? Why ignore the report?
13 - I was never shown a warrant for my arrest. So? Why was I arrested in the first place? The only paper I signed was a paper to make certain I had all my belongings.
Looks like they arrested me just to interrogate me. Is this not a violation of my rights?
14 - I was treated as a Criminal by the Fredericton Police Force. Before going to the hospital. They took my shoes, hat, jacket, belt, wallet. I wasn't in handcuff or shackles.
But this look like an attempt to intimidate me and validate the abduction.
15- In video the Deputy Chief Andre Madore and Sgt Rejean Couturier would allow me to relax then grabbed me AGAIN. This went on and on for close to 9 minutes and 19 seconds.
Unless they are going to arrest an individual. They should not touch them. < watch video >
16- Why didn't the members of the Edmundston Police Force read my Rights to me once they mentioned I was under arrest?
In closing, I want the New Brunswick Police Commission to investigate my complaint. Did the Edmundston Police Force over step their duty in confronting me on the street in Fredericton?
It's nothing personal against the Bosses. They are just pressuring other options. I can understand Mark Peters leaving because he's a new Councillor and it takes lots of hours.
Mark is gone but Josh will leave Friday.
I wish them both success in their ftre...they will do fine because they have good public relation skill....:)..
It was a week this afternoon these two thugs approached me near the New Brunswick Legislature asked me to go for a ride at the Police Station.
I just came back from the deep woods. < left the City for 4 days > I will admit it has been a VERY hectic week. With Donald Trump elected as President that same evening.
How come the media are not asking questions on how can two Cops from the Edmundston Police Force come to this City and grab a citizen with no uniform police present. I understand President Trump took all the attention and everyone was hungover the next day...:P...I asked Fredericton SGT Dwight Doyle < who was in charge of the area > if he knew the two Cops from the Edmundston Police where in his jurisdiction??? He told me he didn't have a clue what was going on!!!!!
Deputy Chief Andre Madore from the Edmundston Police Force told me they have been working on this case against me for over one year and a half. I might add he also told me he never saw or read the Bernard Richard Report.
This goes to show me the Police didn't take his report seriously especially the part of dealing with people who are emotionally disturb.
The situation could have turned VERY ugly after they grab me because God knows what could have happened. Thank God...I never punch one of them!!!!
After a closer look at the video...I guess it did say Edmundston Police. I never saw the details because I was focusing on the stranger coming from behind me.
Do they REALLY believe that this Blogger was going to go into a vehicle with two strangers????
Sorry...this wasn't going to happen.
What put me on edge is when Deputy Chief Andre Madore smirked at his partner meaning - We have to listen to him???
I knew right then that I was in trouble. Because don't ever forget - WHAT YOU TELL THEM WILL BE USE AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW!!!!
The media is not covering this issue and I'm VERY surprise because on social media this issue is being debated BIG TIME!!!!!
How much money have the taxpayers paid for this foolishness???? These are good questions!!!!!
Who is behind this case???? Why are the Fredericton Police keep on going after the Blogger???? The Liberal Government is playing a role???
I have a complaint that I was ready to give to the Attorney General last week about the trial of the idiotic Poet and the Lawsuit against the Fredericton Police for telling my Internet Provider that I was exploiting Kids for Sex!!!
Now that the Fredericton Police have shut down the Scanner so therefore they have no watch dogs. I expect them to shut down this blogger in the near future.
I am filling a complaint to the New Brunswick Police Commission as soon as possible. We need a hearing of why the Fredericton Police are going to the extreme to cause me harm.
Funny part is I was during the last few weeks starting to feel at ease with the members of the Fredericton Police Force but sadly we are back to square one.
I am VERY edgy and upset on what just happen. We must get rid of these steroid gorillas a soon as possible before a citizen gets killed!!!!
Where's out phony Mayor Mike O'Brien in this issue???? What did the Police Chief Leanne Fitch know about this issue????
What did the staff of the Edmundston Police force approve this???
So many questions and during the next few weeks I will be hunting down the Politicians and Officials on the street about my concerns. Especially right near the New Brunswick Legislature. How many other people have vanished from the streets because of our Police Force????
For you newcomers..here's the video when I was approached by two strangers. They quickly said - Mr.LeBlanc..come with us for a ride at the Police Station. I quickly when for my camera.
I had my camera on in my jacket inside the Police station but these clowns didn't know!!! Notice when he said - You will not see a lawyer but only talk to one. This is the way they do this. A lawyer on the phone tells you not to tell them anything but they still question you till the end.
Someone made a little video of the confrontation!!!
and the comments began of the arrest.
So? Is it only me or if there a story in this case????
Wolastoq Grand Council in support of our Indigenous Sisters & Brothers at Standing Rock North Dakota will gather at Fredericton City Hall on Tuesday, November 15th at 12:00pm (noon) and march through the city. We will stop at the following locations - Bank of NS - 490 King St, TD Bank - 77 Westmorland St, HSBC - 520 King St, and ING Bank. These banks have invested hundreds of millions in the Dakota Access Pipeline and we must show our disapproval and urge them to withdraw their investments.
