SIU clears cop in death of boy pursued by police near Canada's Wonderland.

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has determined that a police officer in Ontario was not responsible for a fatal collision involving a 14-year-old boy at Canada's Wonderland in October. The officer had initially pursued the boy, but the SIU found that there was no adequate justification for the pursuit, as the boy's behavior did not match the officer's description. The SIU also concluded that a Toronto police officer will not face criminal charges for pursuing an e-bike rider who was later involved in a collision that left him with multiple fractures. The SIU director acknowledged the officer's conduct was not within the limits of care prescribed by the criminal law but noted that the rider could have chosen a safer route.
