Quoted bit has the jist of it, read the rest at the link:

Quote:
OTTAWA - Jessie Sansone and his family are reeling after he was arrested and strip searched by police after his four-year-old daughter drew a picture of a man with a gun in her Kitchener, Ont., kindergarten class.

The 26-year-old father of four said Saturday the sketch was supposed to be him, getting the bad guys and monsters.

The school must have thought differently, as after Nevaeh drew it Wednesday, the school contacted Family and Children's Services and they called police.

Waterloo Police met Sansone at the school when he tried to pick up his kids he was told he was charged with possession of a firearm. He was then handcuffed and put him in one of the several squad cars waiting outside, he said.

"When I was finally able to see my family, after this ordeal was over, my little girl ran up and gave me a hug me and asked: 'Daddy, are you mad at me?'" said Sansone, his voice choked. "How could she ever think that I would be mad at her? She knows this has to do with her drawing."



Not too totalitarian eh?

The article implies that he has previous convictions, which the school and police probably knew about so that's why they reacted this harshly.

The police will have just inadvertently made him somewhat wealthier. At the expense of his fellow taxpayers, no less.

Yeah they found a toy gun at the house after strip searching him, holding him in a cell, and ransacking his house without a warrant apparently:
