Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Being Followed by Police Planes Like Ray Liotta in “Goodfellas”, Just Sweatier and Dumber

The story of Toronto’s mayor gets even stranger — Rob Ford and his skeevy pals have been followed by a police surveillance plane as part of an ongoing investigation into drugs that he clearly says he or his friends don’t do or have anything to do with:

As reported by the Star in August, a special squad of Toronto police detectives has been investigating Ford for some time. The probe, which has included surveillance from the air, led to the arrest Tuesday of two men on drug trafficking charges: Lisi, Ford’s friend and occasional driver, and Jamshid Bahrami, owner of an Etobicoke dry cleaning store.

The unusual step of air surveillance, using a Cessna contracted to the Toronto police, was employed to follow Ford and other people in Etobicoke.

One person with a connection to Ford said he noticed the plane following him and said it flew low and was noisy. The airplane was last seen in the air Aug. 15, two days before the Star published a story revealing that police were investigating Lisi.

“It was the strangest thing. I would leave my driveway and start heading somewhere, maybe north, maybe south and I would hear the plane and look up and see it following,” said the man, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Where have we seen this before — a suspicious, careless, seemingly too-chummy-with-criminals and allegedly too-close-to-drugs guy being followed by air surveillance? Where? Oh yes, I remember now:
