A lot of letters up there.

CACP is our version of DCS/CPS that you guys have. The RCMP, well, it gets VERY tricky in terms of jurisdiction...

So, unless things have radically-changed, I was taught in school that the RCMP is like your FBI (just not nearly as covert, while our version of the CIA is CSIS).

Then, when I moved out to Calgary, I was surprised to find that the provincial police (State Police for you guys) colours for the rest of the country, were marked on Calgary City Police vehicles. A couple of months in, we drove to Vancouver for the weekend (gorgeous drive and 1/3 of it is no speed limit) and on the way back, I was pulled over for doing 80 KM/H in a 50 KM/H zone (there was no sign and we had just gotten back on the road after eating dinner). Lo and behold, the RCMP is the one who pulls us over and there wasn't a stitch of red in their vehicle, insignia or clothing. (he didn't write us a ticket or anything and was very nice, probably due to the fact that we were fish out of water and riving that route for the first time in our lives).

Get back to work the next day and I learn that there is no official, "provincial police," force in Western Canada and the highways and provincial matters, are all in the jurisdiction of the RCMP.

So, the RCMP handles:

- domestic terrorism
- domestic crimes on a provincial level
- domestic intelligence
- highway patrol in Western Canada lol

If people at large get that angry over something like that, then calling out aggregious child abuse should be automatic.   As the old saying goes, sometimes the only thing it takes for evil to go on is good men doing nothing about it when they see it and could.

If that was me, I'd've smashed those windows immediately; not sure of the US, but there's a law Canada-wide that if you see a struggling pet in hot temperatures with the windows up, you have every right to smash the windows, retrieve the animal and call the police; you are 100% exempt from any liability or criminal charges yourself.

Sickening to know that people do that shit, it pisses me off to high hell (and my sister is EVEN MORE passionate about this; I'd only imagine the day she does discover something like this).
