Video: Constitutional and Human Rights being Violated because of the G20
Just watched this video involving illegal detention, illegal search, and illegal seizure (they took his goggles!)
Even according to Ont. Reg. 233/10, Allen Gardens is NOT declared a “public work” and this guy does have a right to enter the park. Good for this guy for standing up against this (and note that his is not being violent and poses no threat to the police). The cops are either not clear on which places are “public works” according to Ont. Reg. 233/10 or they are outright lying. This is an illegal detention, illegal search, and illegal seizure contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I hope this guy looks into a Charter challenge.

our constitutional rights have not existed for some time.
legal fiction, and our subsequent rights supposed to be derived from it are even more lofty than what is found in most novels.
the CCRF means little to nothing when laws are passed without passing through any kind of public legislative process.
the culture of secrecy in canada is more out of hand than in most other nations except perhaps cold war russia or germany before the collapse of the berlin wall.
at least they won’t be using the sound cannon as a weapon – merely as a “means of communicatin …” yeah, right.

More accurately, LEGALLY we have rights. Whether or not they are RECOGNIZED by the Canadian government, the police, and others is a different story.
