The Police Ethics Committee has ruled that two Montreal police officers acted inappropriately toward a couple of black Montreal residents when they made racially-tinged remarks during a mistaken home burglary call.

The officers arrived at the Dollard des Ormeaux home of 55-year-old Gemma Raeburn on the morning of Nov. 11, 2004, after a neighbour called 911 to report what she thought was a home burglary involving two men wearing “something black” on their faces.

Police pilot 'drove dangerousl

A police helicopter pilot has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving after he drove his car at speeds of up to 110mph in a 40mph coned section of the M5.
Ian Kingston, 49, of Shapwick, near Bridgwater was immediately suspended from flying the force helicopter after the incident in February.

Kingston admitted dangerous driving in a hearing at Bristol Crown Court.

The judge adjourned sentencing but warned "all options" remained open when Kingston is sentenced later this month.

Judge Julian Lambert told Kingston he was adjourning sentencing until 29 November to allow a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

'Misconduct investigation'

"The fact I have allowed you bail is no indication of the sentence you will ultimately receive," he added.

Kingston spoke only to confirm his name and to enter his plea at the hearing on Monday.

The Western Counties Air Operation helicopter serves both the Gloucestershire and Avon and Somerset police forces.

At the time of the offence a temporary speed limit of 40mph was in place on the M5.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said no decision has been made on Kingston's future with the force.

He said: "The employee concerned is subject to an internal police staff misconduct investigation which is yet to be completed."
