Pete Daoust
First encounter with cops, I was 15, almost 16, I was in a process of emptying maibox that are on the corners of streets in Montreal, it was chrismas time, and in these days, people would send chrismas cards with Bank notes in it, I was taking all these envelop, bring them to my stash, and taking ALL these bank notes and keep them for me.
Was it a right thing to do ?, I don’t think so, but I had to eat….I’ve got caught one day, badluck, while I was in my mission, a cop’s car passed by—They grabbed me and thrown me in there car, brought me to the cop’s station, and kept me there for a few hours, punched me in the belly numerous times to know ALL the mailboxes Iév emptied….I hardly could eat for one week after that encounter….was it APPROPRIATE ???, was it ETHICAL ????, was it BAD ????
