British Columbia judge orders retention of racist/sexist group chat data involving suspended RCMP officers.

A British Columbia judge has mandated that data from a group chat, where RCMP officers allegedly exchanged racist and sexist comments, be retained for ongoing proceedings. This follows complaints from Const. Sam Sodhi, who reported harassment. The officers involved—Const. Philip Dick, Const. Ian Solven, and Const. Mersad Mesbah—have been suspended, and the RCMP seeks to terminate their employment. The officers claimed a breach of their rights, but the judge ruled in favor of retaining the data.
