Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Hughes on this occasion however raise a number of large issues that only rarely come before formal inquiries.The matter known in Canada as "the APEC affair," and Commissioner Hughes' APEC report ("Hughes Report") focus on allegations of wrongdoing by the police and the Prime Minister of Canada at the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) Conference held in Vancouver in November 1997.2The particular allegations, which have dominated the House of Commons and Canadian political life on several occasions, will be addressed in a moment.First, however, it is worth pausing briefly to consider some fundamental principles concerning police and politicians. II. POLICE MATTERCanadians tend to be strongly supportive of their police.Police officers have an obviously difficult job that involves them in many difficult, unpleasant, and even dangerous duties.They are the individuals to whom we look first when property losses or accidents occur or when danger threatens.Their role in law enforcement and in preserving "peace, order, and good government" is widely appreciated.The police officer as "helper" is an image that most of us accept.Most Canadians teach their children to turn to police officers for help when they need it.Images of "police as helpers" have remarkable strength.They are so strong, in fact, that they often obscure another equally important aspect of policing.Police may be helpers, but they also constitute a highly organized, armed force.As such, they are dangerous.Most of their important operational decisions are made in secret, invisibly, beyond public scrutiny.They exercise immense discretion in deciding when, how, and against whom to apply the law (think of the last time you were caught speeding).Their power is naked.It includes surveillance, use of force, handcuffing, arrest, and confinement.Only rarely, however, is police power subjected to critical scrutiny.2

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
