Policing and COVID

[bigpoppa]

I see various police departments across ontario saying how they WONT be doing random spot checks or carding as suggested by doug ford, they know you CANT do effective policing without maintaining good relations with the community

This is barrie, but I also saw peel region police union head say the same thing yesterday, as well as something similar from toronto police, its like they've all seen the wire or something:

We'll find out today. They are all riled up on reddit and preparing to go to their weekly meeting spot by the lake.

Well the border checkpoints will happen and survive a challenge. The post at 6:09 is a non-post. That is what the other departments should have done. Encouraged compliance rather than publicly telling dougie to f off (which will in turn result in the public ignoring restrictions).

OPP, the palace guard... has to agree to this. They're beholden to and work for the province... Not the people of the province, the sitting ruler

Can they just write laws on the fly?
i.e. leos extra rights to annoy us.

There's another anti-lockdown protest today in Niagara Falls. Starts at 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Niagara Regional Police will not be acting aggressively to intervene but will block the area off to protect public peace, including the protestors. They will gather information and investigate/lay charges later; or so they say.

Ford government walks back increased police powers and ban on using playgrounds

Following outrage over Ontario’s move to significantly increase police powers during the pandemic, the vast majority of the province’s forces were refusing to use them. The Ford government also withdrew the ban on using playgrounds.

Barrie police told people not to come or expect consequences. As expected, their bluff was called.

"More than a thousand people have descended on Meridian Place in downtown Barrie to protest COVID-19 restrictions"

I can safely say I’ve never felt the urge to protest anything. Maybe I don’t care enough, but I just don’t feel it’s the right outlet.

Outdoors? It's actually not all that much of a risk ...

I protest protests by not protesting.

I also wonder it the freedom anti maskers also save the whales, seals, birds. Humans don't count.
