The National Police Federation is criticizing comments a Nunavut judge made as he acquitted a prosecutor and RCMP officer of criminal contempt, saying the remarks were unnecessary and damaging.
Cpl. Andrew Kerstens and Crown prosecutor Emma Baasch were facing the charge for their joint actions in the July 2022 arrest of a man inside the Iqaluit courthouse who had been set to stand trial that morning.
The judge said last week that Kerstens and Baasch's actions were reckless, a direct and public insult to the integrity of the court and violated the man's right to be present at his trial.The police federation says it fully supports Kerstens and Baasch, who it says both acted professionally and fully within their legal authority and codes of conduct.
Kerstens arrested Robert Campbell on the morning of July 13, after he was informed by a Crown prosecutor the man was accused of intimidating a witness scheduled to testify at his trial that day.
