These degenerate protesters need to do it the legal way, or expect to get arrested. This is a well funded campaign and the same people keep getting arrested, reattend the protest, and get arrested again. They need to fine them more. The cost to taxpayers is now in the 10s of millions.
The judge is using people's feelings about badges in the judgement:
"And, enforcement has been carried out by police officers rendered anonymous to the protesters, many of those police officers wearing ‘thin blue line’ badges. All of this has been done in the name of enforcing this court’s order, adding to the already substantial risk to the court’s reputation whenever an injunction pulls the court into this type of dispute between citizens and the government.”
The thin blue line patches worn by some RCMP enforcing the injunction have been described as a symbol of police solidarity in Canada. But Justice Thompson noted that they “are seen as provocative and insensitive by some of the citizens they serve.”
