Winnipeg’s police chief says an officer who gave a ticket to a couple who questioned why he wasn’t wearing a mask during a traffic stop acted inappropriately.

“We’ve been very clear with our officers that we expect them to wear their protective masks when they are dealing with the public,” Danny Smyth said Thursday.
