There is More to Civil Liberties than Freedom From Arrest
Submitted by copwatch on Sat, 12/18/2010 - 4:15pmArrest, Detention and the G20: There is More to Civil Liberties than Freedom From Arrest Statement by Ombudsman André Marin December 9, 2010
1 Efforts have been made to downplay the questionable use of Regulation 233/10 during the days surrounding the G20 summit in Toronto, on the basis that only two persons were arrested under its authority. The point is being made that almost all of the arrests that took place were made under the power of the police to arrest persons found “breaching the peace.” It is important when considering this information to understand that while there may have been only two arrests using Regulation 233/10, many people were detained, searched, questioned, and redirected under its authority. That regulation played a huge role in the violations of civil liberties that occurred. Arrests were only a small part of it.
