A cop who extorted a Canadian couple of $100 US dollars is fortunate to have his freedom back but has lost his job. And despite being sentenced to 45 days in jail he is free tonight, based on time served.
Jairo Daniel Amador appeared before Justice Derick Sylvester in the High Court after he was convicted of extortion in October 2024. The now former police officer was the first person to benefit from the new sentencing guidelines as he was facing three years imprisonment but ended up with just 45 days
Justice Sylvester also imposed a fine of $2,500 upon Amador and ordered him to pay back the $100 US dollars to the couple he exhorted back in 2022 at the Hattieville checkpoint. That's when he told the victim she could go to jail for driving without insurance and pulled her into a small booth where he threatened to jail her, then demanded a donation in exchange for not charging her. The woman was crying and that's when her husband tried to make his way into the booth but was stopped by another officer. He told her the donation was for an officer's steak dinner.
