Small correction. The money was $475,000. The important thing to note in the article is this: > "The RCMP Operations Manual, a copy of which was obtained by Maclean’s, authorizes the force to mislead all but the courts in order to conceal the identity of confidential informants and agent sources. > “The identity of a source must be protected at all times except when the administration of justice requires otherwise, i.e. a member cannot mislead a court in any proceeding in order to protect a source.” So RCMP isn't even telling the truth to the public quite possibly.
