A Montreal police officer who also ran a legal advice firm for traffic offenders has been suspended without pay for conflict of interest. Sgt. Alfredo Munoz was a supervisor by night and operator of SOS Ticket by day. His company provides legal representation for motorists charged with traffic offenses. “How can you be a police officer who supervises other police officers, who may at times give out tickets, and at the same time have a company where you give advice to people about contesting these tickets?” asked Inspector Paul Chablo, head of the Montreal police force’s media relations department. Munoz uses the knowledge he gains in law enforcement to potentially help offenders beat the system. “We find it unacceptable that an officer would undo the work of another officer,” spokesman Martin Viau said.
