I read this thread this morning and didn't comment but after thinking about it I wanted to comment (question?) this whole story.
First off, I have never been in trouble or arrested so maybe I'm way off base, but I cant imagine you can be arrested and then let out and not be given a single piece of paper, a single official document, nothing laying out the charge(s) against you and any info of what happens next as far as court or anything else. Even if that were true, I find it hard to believe you cant go online to Canada's equivalent to our circuit of the courts and see the charge and print something out. I also find it ridiculous that you cant get something in writing about your own personal arrest record without going through some freedom of information hoops. Sounds fishy to me.
Second, he mentions the 3 charges and 2 were dropped after a night in jail but the third was still being charged. Doesn't make sense to me that they would still attempt to charge after dismissing the first 2. Again, fishy.
This is only a couple of the many questionable parts of the OP's story...never mind the parts about his equipment being seized but he was able to give his friend the SD card, the fact that he says he and his 2 friends went to the persons house to confront him (so as not to ruin his life!!), where were the 2 friends when you got 'scared' and attempted to run...did you just leave them and run? Where was the equipment when they caught you from running and how did you access equipement and the sd card?
I think there is much to this story the OP is leaving out and/or twisting. None of it makes any sense.
My crystal ball is a bit cloudy, but I would bet it went down more along the lines of...OP was out flying at night, someone shined a laser at drone. OP and 2 friends were feeling tough and went looking for the person with the laser pointer. The person they went after either turned out to be a policeman or that person called the police. IMO there was never a voyeurism charge...
I could be wrong, but the OP's story doesn't sound believable....
To answer your questions
1: The sd card was given to friends while the officer left us in the car to chat with the other officers,
2: The two friends were still in the car, and the equipment was also still in the car with them, they seized the aircraft and my tablet, but not the sd card...
Like i said there's more evidences to this but i cant be sharing them and will only use if really needed...
They knew that by dropping those charges they would not have to provide me the documentation about them, declarations, notes, etc...And i do have other evidences but will not be using or sharing them unless it is really needed...
Edit : Im also not getting any documentation, until first court date...Its called the release of the proof(not sure if i got the english version right), but its something similar to that in french...(my language is french)
