ok, i spoke to the watch commander and he was really nice. he was not on duty when the incident happened but said he would find out who was and who the officer was who scanned your id. i explained the situation and why it was unacceptable explaining who i was, my membership on the city of vancouver task force, contribution to non enofrcement policies at the vpd and how i tesified to the missing women's commission. i told him that in lieu of the foresaken report, we should be building trust and not underminig work to increase safety of sex workers...
he said he would have the commander who was on duty phone me to discuss what had happened and also said they would identify the officer and talk to him about his actions being harmful.
i also discussed enforcement of laws which have been struck down and how there needs to be careful consideration before enforcing them anymore in light of the missing and murdered women.
that's all i have for now, i will continue to communicate with them until i hear he has been instructed to not inform your family.
i know it sucks but we just have to wait and hope now.
as for the fox den, i think its less likely but who knows. massage parlours are being targeted in montreal right now...they have a business license though and are not a micro. because migrant workers are more hidden working in these kind of under ground places ( a result of raids against 63 amp's before th olympics and deportations) their working conditions are suspect so they are easy targets.
i feel the conversation i had with them was respectful and productive so i will try to continue and work towards balancing policing down the lower mainland at least. i can do alot via phone calls....
