Edmonton police officer accused of ignoring commands from peace officer during an attempted traffic stop.

Peace officer tried to stop Constable A.A. who was off duty and appeared to be using a cellphone while driving.

The peace officer shouted “hey” and “stop,” but the truck sped off, the peace officer said.

A former officer who reviewed the decision said the case “sends a real bad message” when it comes to accountability.

“These are the kinds of things that really impact police legitimacy” Failing to obey a law enforcement officer is “kind of a big thing,” he said.

“I know how the police look at it when someone is disobeying them: they get very, very upset” Jones also took issue with the peace officer for refusing to finish his testimony.
