    King West Optical Optician Arrested

    Looks like Mr. Plimmer's temper finally got the better of him.

    Maybe Plimmer should buy a great glasses franchise. What a fiasco. (Did you notice the ultra chic glasses worn by the female cop when Plimmer was being led away?)

    While Plimmer may be facing criminal charges, I suspect the College may have a strong case for professional misconduct.

    Well ain't he just a splendid piece of work. Simply a stellar example of members of our profession. This footage is 'must-see' for all opticianry students: "How NOT to Deal with Anger and Agressive Tendencies"

    Plimmer

    I think Plimmer has a chance in pro baseball. Showed of a pretty solid arm slot and solid hip rotation with the snow balls. I think that maybe he should show up down in Florida or Arizona next week and tryout for the Braves or the White Sox.:idea: He definately could pitch for the White Sox this year especially coming out of the bullpen. They suck.

    You know Adam Plimmer has hit the big time when CNN's Anderson Cooper features his story on his show. It's the most popular video right now on CNN's website:

    Unbelievable! I hope the guy gets a serious attitude adjustment in the slammer. For his own sake, you can't treat customers the way it appears he has.

    License is still listed as current and active .

    Reminds me of the Great Glasses delays . No license suspension for years. They just let it go on in spite of the judges calling the operation a sham and there being many,many infractions . How long did it take them to schedule hearings in that case ? How many years did it take for them to suspend that license ? How many more years did it take to revoke that license ?

    Now it looks like history will repeat itself again .If thats is true we only have another 3 to 4 years to wait .


    Is it reasonable to take 4 years and more to deal with this ? How would a Registrar and Council justify & explain this to the membership ?
    So what did our College say about this issue when you contacted them about it?

    ASk yourself how long it took for then to suspend the Bergez license never mind revoke it. In that case how many Ontario Court judges had already ruled against him ? Yet COO delayed and delayed and delayed for years . In fact in spite of all the documented infractions our Registrars kept renewing his license. You can'
    t suspend or revoke a license that is not current and active . Does that tell you a story ? It cost us a cool million and a half while they delayed.

    Well start asking questions yourself personally . Call them on it . Call each of the President , Registrar and the ICRC peoiple . Form your own opinion. And our Associaiton , LOL, where are they ?
    I will ask you once again,"What did our College say to you about the Adam Plimmer lack of action when you contacted them?"

    Well I think that you are very passionate about this subject. Passionate enough to post your thoughts on this site but not enough to phone yourself. You also tried to get me to phone but I can't figure out that if it's such an issue to you why you haven't contacted our College yourself?

    This would have to be because of new allegations....not the ones from 2007. I wonder what he did this time?

    Not necessarily. If you look at other Discipline Finding documents posted on the College website, you'll see that the time between infractions and disciplinary committee hearings numbers in years, not months.
