The OPP says it is aware of a video being circulated online that has raised concerns about professionalism and depicts opinions that it says are not in line with the OPP’s values.

It says the Feb. 12th video was taken during a traffic stop, and showed an officer who appeared to support the Ottawa anti-mandate protest.
