Toronto Police officer caught lying in court. Judge penalizes him 8 days pay.

The Police, with the approval of a sitting Ontario Judge, can now just pay a financial penalty when they are caught lying in court.
The more charges and convictions the police produce, the more funding they get from their governemnt overlords. So, in essence, the police can conintue to lie in court and then balance the extra funding they get against the financial penalties they will face when caught.
It will be a simple accounting transaction, and the truth doesn't matter anymore.
It's equivalent to a car company making an unsafe car and balancing profits against liability lawsuits to see if it makes sense to make a safe car or not, in the end.
