A Peel police officer who drove around asking young girls for directions for "no legitimate purpose" has been found guilty of discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act. Adult male strangers repeatedly driving through residential areas and approaching young females is potentially very serious. Charged more than two years ago, Yeo admitted he talked with "pretty" young girls, but said his actions were harmless. The 38-year-old officer, who has been suspended with pay since the charges were laid, and he said that he never stalked students and never asked them to get into his car. Boychuk found that while Yeo was off duty he watched and followed more than a dozen young girls, many Grade 7 students, between June and October 2005, near recreation centres, schools and shopping malls. He never thought that he was scaring the girls. In the first known incident, Yeo called out to three Grade 7 students from his vehicle in a church parking lot near St. Elizabeth Seaton Public School and asked directions to Erin Mills Town Centre. He asked the girls to "come closer" but they refused. In another incident, he followed a girl walking alone down a dead-end street near Inlake Court. An undercover officer who followed Yeo over a five-month period in 2005 testified that he saw the officer watching several young girls.
This is just creepy, first of all the cop is 38 years old, and he is stalked and watching young girls occasionally when they are at school. Just a little creepy. Secondly the man is a cop and it is his duty is to serve and protect. I don’t think your protecting anyone when your constantly stalked young girls and frequently asking them questions for no particular reason.

I agree with what you are saying, this police officer's duty is to serve and protect the people. If he is approaching girls and stalking them, this is not following the duties assigned to him. Police officers are role models in our society and they are supposed to enforce the laws, not break them. It is horrible to see this because it provides the wrong image of what is right and wrong as some people will think this is acceptable when they see the police officers committing this serious offense. I think that the officer should be persecuted for breaking the law.
