Manitoba’s Harjot Singh, a convenience store employee, has filed a lawsuit against a police officer for allegedly searching his place without warrant and threatening to have him deported. Harjot Singh said Winnipeg police officer Jeffrey Norman’s actions left him so shaken that he quit his job at the store. Singh was told that he was under arrest for obstruction of a police officer after taking away his cellphone and handcuffing him. A statement of claim, filed by Singh in Manitoba Court of King’s Bench late last month, said that Norman wanted to enter the shop while it was temporarily closed on December 2 last year.
