This kind of behavior is not out of the ordinary, I have been told by countless people that Action team officers have unjustly harrassed them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.25rem;\">Now the ACTION team is under investigation for writing fake tickets, to improve their numbers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.25rem;\">&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamilton Police Under Investigation For Writing Fake Tickets | Canadian Awareness Network.
