so, this is the response i got from the oiprd on july 17th:

I am sending this email to let you know, the investigator has completed your review and it will be sent to our legal counsel next week for the finalization.

that would suggest to me that a report is on the way, and i did indicate at the time that it seemed strange that it didn't go to a panel.

this is the response i got on august 8th:

Last I can see in our file, this went to our panel just yesterday. So now we wait for the drafted decision.

so, which is it?

i know that it sounds paranoid to suggest that i'm being fucked around by the police oversight committee, but i'm just looking at the evidence in front of me and coming to clear deductions around it. they've been entirely inconsistent and totally dishonest from the very start.

i don't know when to expect the report at this point, but there's not much that i can do so long as they keep stringing me along, except sit tight and wait it out. the only thing with a meaningful statute on it was the human rights complaint, and it's been filed; there are no statutory time restraints on filing a charter challenge, and if the delay is due to the oiprd then the judge should accept that without much push back.

if i'm right, and they're just dragging their feet, then it will just help my cause, in the end.
