Then began a full interrogation about the suspected in-store presence of specific prohibited brands of alcoholic beverages recalled by the RACJ<\/a>\u00a0(Quebec Liquor Board), namely Mojo, Four Loko, Seagrams, etc.<\/p>\n That is quite unheard of indeed: we have seldom seen in Quebec, if ever, the police itself doing such inspections! What’s going on?<\/p>\n Fortunately for the retailer, all these products had already been removed following the recall made by bottler Cidrerie Solar in December 2017.<\/p>\n Not satisfied, the officer then turned his attention to whether there is some FCKD UP malt beverages still in the store.<\/p>\n The store owner, Jassi Jagdish, had also fortunately removed all of these following the tragic death of teenager Ath\u00e9na Gervais in Laval a month earlier.<\/p>\n However, it is hard to understand why this policeman got interested in this brand since it was then perfectly legal for sale and remain so until the new proposed legislation to ban them has been sanctioned (only the products bottled by Cidrerie Solar were targeted by the recall, while FCKD UP was bottled by Geloso).<\/p>\n Finally, after his alcohol inspection completed without any violation found, the policeman switched to another product category, tobacco.<\/p>\n The officer then verified the presence of mandatory signs and stressed, when leaving the premises, that a “no smoking” sign was missing from the front door, but did not seem to make too much fuss about it.<\/p>\n Finally, two weeks later, the store owner received a $ 684 contravention for violation of the Tobacco Act!<\/p>\n After verification, the Longueuil police did indeed take charge of enforcing of the tobacco Act on its territory, in place of the usual inspectors from the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/depquebec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/amende.jpg\")
