David Bratzer thinks drugs should be legalized, and he's happy to talk about his position. VicPD is not as happy. Bratzer's run-ins with the department have dropped him into the middle of the debate over how much freedom police officers have or should have to express their opinions. It's a thorny problem. The constable is president of the Canadian branch of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, which lobbies for legalization and regulation of drugs. Its members are current and former law-enforcement officials. Bratzer has filed a human-rights complaint against the department and Chief Jamie Graham because he says they have discriminated against him because of his political beliefs.
