What courage. This is how police states operate, they bend their knee to the police and care little for any flimsy oath they took.
Like U.S police I have learned, when Canadian police tell you to "jump", they ask "how high sir"?
Violate a mans trust and Charter of Rights and have the police film it? No problem, he's a Goodfella, back to work Mr. Dentist, enjoy your retirement. No need for any silly training course or community service good sir.

GANDER, N.L. - A dental surgeon who allowed a correctional officer to extract four teeth from a sedated inmate in central Newfoundland was granted an absolute discharge by a Supreme Court judge on Tuesday.
Justice Melanie Del Rizzo told a courtroom in Gander, N.L., that although Dr. Louis Bourget violated his position of authority and trust, convicting him of a criminal offence and putting him in custody would serve neither the dentist nor the public.
“I acknowledge that Dr. Bourget made a terrible mistake and, in doing so, assaulted (the victim) Blair Harris,” Del Rizzo said, appearing via videoconference. “However, in all circumstances of this case, I am not prepared to burden Dr. Bourget with a criminal conviction, given the extreme repercussions to him that would follow such a conviction.”
