A B.C. teenager alleges Victoria police assaulted and unlawfully confined her when she was just 15.
Police surveillance videotape shows Willow Kinloch detained in a padded cell, where police officers are seen holding her down, handcuffing her, tying her feet and leaving her tethered to the cell door, where she stayed for four hours.
Willow Kinloch, now 18, says she doesn't see why Victoria police found her a threat and detained her at a police station in May 2005. Willow Kinloch, now 18, says she doesn't see why Victoria police found her a threat and detained her at a police station in May 2005.
Kinloch's family has filed a civil law suit against the City of Victoria and the four officers involved. The case is expected to go to trial this fall.
"If I didn't have this tape, I don't think anyone would have believed me because it's my word against theirs, and, you know, I was intoxicated, and I was 15," Kinloch said. "I didn't know that they stuck drunk teenagers in there or that they would leash you up."
The incident happened in May 2005. Kinloch said her trouble began after she got extremely intoxicated at an outdoor teenage party. Kinloch, who is less than five feet tall, said it was the first time she had gotten drunk.
The teenager said her friends dropped her off at home around midnight, but she was locked out because she lost her keys. Neighbours called 911 when they saw her staggering outside, out of control. Paramedics arrived and called police.
Police said that when Kinloch was unable to tell them where she lived, they took her to the main Victoria police station and put her in a padded cell to sober her up. They chose a padded cell because no other cells were available at the time, police said.

"As soon as I was in the padded cell, I was crying, and I wanted to go home, and I was worried about what my parents were thinking � like where I was," Kinloch said. |

Three big bad cops couldn't handle her:

Dunno. She is suing the government and the "assaulting a police officer" (an absurd LIE as shown in the video) have been dropped.
The cops say they've done nothing wrong. |

| She probobly ought not to have got drunk and started stripping in the padded cell. Those cops can lose their job just as easy over sexual misconduct as they can abuse. It looks like the guy was protecting himself by calling in other cops and they stopped her, there wasn't any sound on that tape as proof of what was said. You gotta look at it from his veiw too, probably worked there for 20-30yrs and had a family relying upon him to bring home the bread and retirment. Think he wanted to lose that over a 15 year old drunk? |

The police pick her up because she's so intixicated that people in the community phone the police out of a concern for her safety. She's put in a cell and becomes extremely abusive. A matron goes into check on her, and the girl acts in an aggressive manner towards her. Police officers enter and restrain her in a safe manner.
I don't see what the police did wrong in this particuar instance unless you meant they kept her safe.
Her mom states she's a sweet girl. Where was the mom when her daughter was drunk and in police custody. Obviously the girl's a product of poor parenting, and she should be thankful that the police picked her up as the consequences could have been far worse. |

So, a drunk and resisting teen got tossed in a cell - I'm wondering where the wrong is.
If they punched her or struck her, it'd be wrong. But putting restraints on her... isn't that what cops do??

Looks like these pigs have been busy:

VICTORIA -- Victoria's police department was hit Wednesday with a second allegation in as many days of abuse in its jail cells.
B.C.'s police complaint commissioner, Dirk Ryneveld, ordered a public hearing into an incident that left a young Victoria man with a serious head injury. Mr. Ryneveld ordered the hearing after disagreeing with Victoria police about the findings of their internal investigation into a complaint of abuse of authority.
The original complaint was filed by Mark McKay, on behalf of his son, Thomas McKay, alleging he was seriously injured in April 2004 when his hands were cuffed behind his back and he was forcibly thrown to the jail's concrete floor.
The second incident came to light just hours after the force agreed to investigate the case of a woman now suing police because she was left handcuffed and tied at the ankles for four hours in a cell in May 2005 when she was 15 years old.
Mr. McKay has also filed a civil suit in B.C. Supreme Court, which is scheduled for trial on May 26.
Christopher Considine, the lawyer representing McKay in the suit against the City of Victoria, said he's very pleased with the public hearing.
Mr. McKay, who is in his 20s, was celebrating the end of final college exams with friends on April 23, 2004, when he was arrested by Victoria police.
"He was arrested for some student hijinks," said Mr. Considine. "It was nothing of any consequence."
According to the statement of claim, Mr. McKay was forcibly thrown onto the concrete floor of the cell block area and suffered a serious permanent head injury |

| I'd be curious as to what 'Hijinks' means in that quote. |
