## Resource

Former Halifax police officer Michael Meade, 41, is set to go on trial in 2028 on serious charges including conspiring to pervert justice, hacking, and stealing $500 from his co-defendant. His 33-year-old co-defendant, Kazim Mirza, faces weapon possession charges. Both denied all allegations and were granted bail with strict no-contact orders. The trial won’t begin until April 24, 2028 — a four-year wait — as the case unfolds under tight legal scrutiny.
