Bikers Of America, Know Your Rights!: Cop acquitted of leaking documents to Hells Angels: "Although some of Dean Rudge's actions were questionable, Judge Harrison Arrell says he was unable to determine without a reasonable doubt that the Niagara Regional Police constable was responsible for leaking confidential information to the Hells Angels. In a Welland courtroom Thursday, Rudge was acquitted of a breach of trust by a public officer charge stemming from his April 2007 arrest.
The 47-year-old has been with the NRPS since 1985. He pleaded not guilty to the charge in February of this year and chose to be judged solely by judge. Rudge was an officer working out of the Port Colborne detachment when police were investigating the Hells Angels through Project Tandem. When raids were executed throughout southern Ontario and in Niagara in 2006, police found that members of the gang were in possession of confidential documents including police memos about the ongoing investigation and information about the rival Outlaws motorcycle gang considering a return to Niagara."
