Editor angry as policeman impersonates reporter

The editor of a Canadian newspaper is upset with Vancouver police after one of its officers impersonated a reporter to arrest a suspect. Dean Broughton, editor-in-chief of 24 Hours, says the officer crossed a line. The media should never be used in ploys by police, he argues, because it could put reporters in danger and undermines trust in the media. (Via CBC)
