Former Toronto police officer Firouzeh Zarabi-Majd, said that she had discovered the unofficial cat of division 51 “accidentally” after being informed by a colleague.
What she saw included a message “Talking about my vagina,” she said, among other disturbing conversations.
Zarabi-Majd would continue to be dismissed for insubordination after having published the equipment on social networks as well as criticism of force.
But the other officers involved in conversations were not publicly disciplined, even after two of them were dissected to undermine the testimony in unrelated cases, one of which collapsed.
“It was so heartbreaking,” said Zarabi-Majd. “After seeing these kinds of things and reporting it, I thought the police were going to do something and treat them, but of course, they did not do it and I became the target.”
Zarabi-Majd published discussions on the group of Division 51 on social networks under an account entitled Dirty Shades of Blue in October 2019, and was rejected in May 2023. She is attractive and has an outstanding procedure before the court Ontario human rights.
There have been other benefits.
In the case of the sexual trafficker accused Kevin Barreau, his lawyer cited remarks on the body of Zarabi-Majd to support a demand for racism against Det. Const. Chris Hoeller. Barreau said Hoeller had used a racial epithet when he arrest in 2017.

Hoeller admitted to having written on the body of Zarabi-Majd during the bar The trial that started in 2021, saying to the Ontario court of justice, it was “completely inappropriate” and “very disrespectful”, but a “punctual thing”.
“I find his reluctance to recognize the racist connotations of this text to be disturbing,” wrote Judge Russell Stuart Silverstein in a decision in May 2023, saying that this increased the probability that Hoeller uses the epithet.
However, Silverstein rejected bar efforts to keep the case.
Barreau was convicted, but his lawyer, Chris Rudnicki, said that group cat evidence showed a “striking” culture among the police.
He said that the material was “deeply relevant” for the case of a bar because he had “tried to establish that this type (Hoeller) is racist”.
Rudnicki said that Zarabi-Majd’s group cat exposure was made at an “extreme” risk. But such cats are mainly kept secret, he said.
“Each defense lawyer knows that the police will regularly use their personal mobile phones to talk to each other to prevent their communications from being produced in La Défense.”
Two years before the Barreau affair, a different affair of Toronto involving two 20-year-old young people accused of drug possession and a firearm at the city center of the city center Moss collapsed when key evidence has been thrown by the judge.
He had been compromised, in part, by the counter-examination of the constancy of the Toronto police service. Ryan Kotzer, who was toasted on his 51 division cat activities.
Shared screenshots shared with the Canadian press show a profile under the name of Kotzer criticizing the judges as “left” and “morons”.
“It is at this point that politicians must intensify and remove our muzzle and allow us to (spoil) these animals,” he said, using blasphemy.
In a discussion on shots, he says: “I would put my mortgage on the fact that a black man is involved in 90 (percent.)”
The decision on the evidence of Mosse Park by judge Feroza Bhabha said that Kotzer told court that he had “learned from the past, was educated and that his comments on the group cat no longer reflected the person than It is today “.
Neither Hoeller nor Kotzer faced public disciplinary measures for their remarks, but Hoeller was withdrawn from the unit of the service of the service of the service, wrote the judge of the bar case.
Toronto police spokesperson Nadine Ramadan said that force “could not comment on specific disciplinary issues involving our officers unless these questions lead to appearance in the disciplinary court or to criminal accusations.”
Neither Hoeller nor Kotzer could not be joined to comment. The Toronto Police Service and the Toronto Police Association both refused to help the Canadian press contact them, and the former Kotzer lawyer Gary Clewley, also refused to do so.
