Definitions by Some guy named Tristin

Peterborough Police Service

noun. An official or institution that claims to protect everyone's rights but brushes off complaints from vulnerable people, especially autistic, disabled, or mentally ill people. They say they take harassment seriously, but when someone reports being followed or deliberately overwhelmed in public, they say it doesn't meet the legal definition, even when the person believes it does. The result is that the people who most need protection feel ignored, dismissed, and unsafe.

Example: "I reported being followed and sensory-overloaded in public, and they said it wasn't criminal harassment. Total Peterborough Police Service."
"I asked them to look into people following me and overwhelming me in public, and they said it didn't meet the definition of harassment. Classic Peterborough Police Service."
