ASIRT recommended charges for three Lethbridge officers accessing NDP MLA Shannon Phillips' info, but the Crown declined prosecution.
Alberta police watchdog, ASIRT, recommended charging three Lethbridge officers for accessing personal info of NDP MLA Shannon Phillips, but the Crown's office declined to prosecute. ASIRT investigated unauthorized access of police data at Lethbridge Police Service in 2017 and 2018, finding reasonable grounds for officers' actions. However, the Alberta Prosecution Service deemed circumstances didn't meet its test for court.
