A South Shore man claims he was the victim of racial profiling at the hands of the Longueuil police department, which has faced accusations of racial profiling before.
“I was left in a cell and ignored for two hours and I had no idea what was happening to me. I was shouting in protest. I was told I was not a priority for them and I would just have to wait,” he said. “I was in a cell without being placed under arrest, read my rights, processed and still at that point no explanation as to why I had been snatched off the street while on the way to work.”
Daye says he returned to the station later that day with his father, inquiring as to why he was stopped in the first place. He said police insisted on keeping his work duffel bag full of tools as part of their investigation. Later that night police called him telling him he could pick up the bag.Daye says he has not returned to work since the incident and has been left traumatized and unnerved by what happened.
The Longueuil police department told Global News in a statement that it could not comment directly on the case.
