A British Columbia man who is suing the RCMP claims he walked naked out of his shower to find a female uniformed Mountie standing in his bedroom.

Kirk Forbes says the encounter in his Coquitlam home in June 2022 left him 香蕉视频直播渟hocked, confused and embarrassed.香蕉视频直播�

Mounties say in a news release issued Tuesday that the officers entered the home when they found that it appeared 香蕉视频直播渋nsecure.香蕉视频直播�

In a notice of civil claim filed in July, Forbes says it was only after he asked the woman why she was in his home that she identified herself as an RCMP officer, then asked him his name and said she was there to serve him a traffic ticket.

Forbes was told the violation happened in Pemberton, but he says in the claim he was unaware of any traffic violation.

He says after he got dressed, he went to his living room where he found a male officer searching his home.

He was told the officers had knocked on his door and 香蕉视频直播渋t had flung open香蕉视频直播� so they went in, the claim says. The female officer then 香蕉视频直播渏oked mockingly that perhaps they should investigate whether a break-in had occurred.香蕉视频直播�

Forbes says he was unsatisfied with that explanation and with the officer香蕉视频直播檚 levity, which made him feel unsafe. He became 香蕉视频直播渋ncreasingly upset, angry and shocked,香蕉视频直播� the claim says.

It says the Mounties served him his violation ticket and left the home.

In the lawsuit, Forbes alleges the RCMP officers 香蕉视频直播渁bused their authority and power,香蕉视频直播� by walking into his home without his permission or a warrant to serve the ticket.

The Coquitlam Mounties say in the news release they are aware of the claim and that officers entered 香蕉视频直播渨hat appeared to be an insecure premise香蕉视频直播� to serve a traffic violation ticket.

RCMP spokeswoman Cpl. Alexa Hodgins said in an interview that because there is litigation pending, there are limitations on what she can disclose. But she said there are circumstances in which an officer can enter someone香蕉视频直播檚 property.

香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 case law that if there香蕉视频直播檚 an insecure premise that police have a duty to make sure that nobody香蕉视频直播檚 injured inside and the only way you can do that is to enter,香蕉视频直播� she said.

She said examples include 香蕉视频直播渁 window being smashed, or a door opening or maybe the doors already open 香蕉视频直播� those types of things.香蕉视频直播�

The RCMP news release says the resident raised concerns about the officers香蕉视频直播� presence in his home, but police believed they had 香蕉视频直播渄ealt with those concerns informally香蕉视频直播� before the man initiated a formal public complaint.

Forbes said in the statement of claim that he initially contacted the Coquitlam detachment and made an informal complaint about the situation. He said he was told they would investigate and report back to him.

After several weeks without an update, he said he went to the detachment, where a receptionist allegedly referred to him as 香蕉视频直播渢he shower guy.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚t was apparent to the plaintiff that the incident had been discussed amongst other members and employees of the Coquitlam RCMP detachment which caused the plaintiff further anxiety, embarrassment, and upset,香蕉视频直播� the lawsuit said.

This, the lawsuit said, is what led him to make a formal complaint to the Civilian Complaints Commission for the RCMP on May 12, 2023.

The RCMP statement says the incident is now under investigation, which will include a review of documentation, radio transmissions, and the informal process.
