Police are literally using Covid to justify arrests against anyone they like. If you are not "exercising" or are out for an "essential reason", than you can be arrested. We are literally living in a dictatorship where our charter rights are being completely disregarded under the guise of a "pandemic".
Seems to me something more sinister is happening here fren.
I've seen this fella at quite a few protests. Likely targeted.
Rebel did a story where they managed to record some audio from a police radio. In the previous week's protest the officers were ordered to focus on people with signs or loudspeakers.
I'm guessing there's an enforceability issue with the gathering limits where the accused can claim they weren't protesting. They were just out for a walk and happened to be in the area.
People are being targeted at these protests arbitrarily. A few weeks ago an old lady was arrested for holding a sign at queens Park (alone). Their justification was that she was not exercising.
I've seen this man at the protests before so its likely they targeted him, because they didn't like his sign and the fact that he is somewhat of a regular there.
