The appellant police officer appealed a conviction for discreditable conduct for engaging in secondary employment as a painter without the Commissioner's consent, contrary to section 61 of Regulation 791 under the Police Act.
The appellant argued the regulation was discriminatory, violated common law, and infringed sections 6(2) and 15 of the Charter.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission dismissed the appeal, relying on its previous decisions upholding the regulation, and confirmed the penalty of forfeiture of three days' vacation.
