I am not the least bit surprised. More proof that the end goal is eventual confiscation.
No wonder citizens have lost faith in crooked governments.
"This isn’t the first time that gun advocates have suspected that police were using what really amounts to illegal gun registry data. During the 2013 floods in High River, Alta., RCMP officers went house to house seizing guns from locked but evacuated homes.
They smashed down doors to seize the firearms and there was clear evidence of coordination and targeting homes they knew belonged to gun owners but no clear evidence was produced."

The Keyston cops are too stupid to even cover their own tracks...
Another investigation that will go nowhere...:)

“This shows that there is someone within the RCMP who has deliberately lied to Parliament and the courts.”
The document that Burlew uncovered was prepared by the Registrar of Firearms, part of the RCMP, and sent to the OPP for a case they were working on.
That document contains not only the serial number of each firearm seized but also the Firearm Identification Number, a number that would not exist or be attached to the rifles and shotguns seized without a copy of the registry existing.
I said copies would be kept back when it was first deleted. In fact it would not surprise me if every locale had a local copy.
I think I even explained how local IT guy's could quickly build a system to download data from the registry.
The thing is they are breaking the law by having copies.
Ignoring the wish of the people who make and enact the laws will eventually come back and bite them.
While I can see some nefarious agencies keeping a copy (now basically useless) Parliament told the RCMP to destroy it....if this proves to be valid evidence...heads at the RCMP should roll.
I think it would be next to impossible to eradicate records like this, I am pretty sure security agencies in the USA have a copy
Homeland, CIA, FBI. IMHO
It's probably saved on the hard drive of some manager's computer in Ottawa in a big office building. The password will be something like "gun regsitry123" written on a smeared sticky note that is stuck to the side of their computer...
There were a few on here who said I was full of BS when I said copies would be made Gilroy was it you or Fishermcan?
Already a thread going.

I think I will start making a list of things like this to ask during the next election open house in our area to make a few candidates squirm.
I don't see too many advantages for LEO's to use the old registry, since the info would be virtually useless to prove who owns what and how many and what the owner potentially did with the firearm?
I read somewhere,maybe even here,that the average Canadian firearm owner has three guns.........a shotgun,a rimfire and a medium caliber deer/moose rifle that they bought/inherited once and intend to keep forever. Most have owned them since before the LGR was enacted,dutifully registered them and,since then,have never changed even after the LGR was quashed. If that's accurate,it necessarily follows that data for most owners hasn't changed a lot,therefore,remaining LGR data would still be fairly accurate.
You could have sold or given them all away, there is no way for them to prove anything from the long gun registry.
The long gun registry is garbage no matter where the copy sits, if you ask me or many other shooters all of those guns from back in the day have been moved to a new home, if they want to start up a new registry then have to start from scratch.
If the RCMP were to ever call you about a specific firearm, I would ask where and how they got that information.
When a national police force can willfully ignore laws enacted by Parliament with impunity,Canada has definitely entered the realm of a full blown Police state,official "banana republic" territory. I'm not the least bit optimistic that a Liberal government would ever intervene given the anti-firearm policy of the Liberal Party of Canada and their plans to gradually (or not) disarm all Canadians.
I wouldn't say anything ... no point lying (assuming someone would say this even if they owned the gun). I would simply indicate how they possibly linked you to that gun.
Now, if that gun was in fact stolen or sold, and then used in a crime ... another story altogether. I'd be cooperative, unless they are being buttholes and accusing you of that incident ... then they can talk to a lawyer.

I suspect using data that was supposed to be destroyed would not stand up in court not even if Trudeau cried again
