Another person has come forward with allegations that Peel Regional Police officers were caught, on videotape, behaving badly.
An Alberta man who claims Peel police officers seized his video camera after he taped them driving recklessly on Derry Rd. this summer has launched a formal complaint with Peel Regional Police.

Peel police's internal affairs unit interviewed the complainant this week. Well-placed sources identified the complainant as Atilla Aros, who had been visiting family in the GTA.

Sources say the complaint alleges Aros was falsely detained after videotaping at least two police cruisers being operated in an aggressive, speedy manner near Pearson International Airport in June. He claims one of the officers spotted him.

The complaint, which was filed earlier this summer, claims Aros was pulled over by police, threatened with a ticket and had his camera seized.

When the camera was returned to him, everything had been erased, according to the complaint.

The two officers who detained him said they believed he was acting suspiciously by filming buildings and other scenery around the airport, according to Aros' complaint.

Earlier this week, two Erin Mills residents, Richard Cimpoesu, 24, and Orlando Canizalez, 20, made public their allegations that they were attacked and beaten by several Peel officers after they were discovered filming the officers, both male and female, drinking alcohol and partying in the early morning hours of Aug. 28 behind a furniture store near Dundas St. and Erin Mills Pkwy.

The men sustained severe bruising to their stomachs and heads from the alleged attack, and they also claim they were threatened to tell the officers where the camera was and to turn it over. Police didn't find the video camera, and the two men later recovered it in nearby bushes, they said.

Peel Regional Police Chief Mike Metcalf indicated Friday that, with respect to both complaints, officers will be charged if evidence points to any wrongdoing.

"In our business we hold everybody accountable for their actions," said Metcalf. "I'm going to hold our officers accountable for what they do. If there's a misconduct on their part, I'm going to exercise my authority properly after an impartial investigation."
