HALIFAX - The Nova Scotia government is introducing restrictions on access to used police gear in reaction to last year s mass shooting by a gunman who wore an RCMP uniform and drove a replica police cruiser.
A new bill would make it illegal for anyone in Nova Scotia to create or sell used police vehicles, uniforms and equipment. The proposed law would also outlaw the possession of anything that could be used by someone who is not an officer to try to pass themselves off as one.
