new G20 law


...police can demand identification from anyone coming within five metres of the fence perimeter and search them. If they refuse, they face arrest...empowers police to arrest anyone near the G20 security zone who refuses to identify themselves or agree to a police search.

Morton said he’s unaware of any precedents to such a regulation being passed in Ontario and questions if it is even constitutional. Des Rosiers said the regulation runs contrary to the Charter of Rights because it prohibits people from generally circulating on public land.

....most people, ... will operate under the assumption they have a right to refuse handing over identification to police. “Protesters would have been told that the law of the land is that you don’t have to talk to police officers if you don’t want to,” she said. “This changes things because even if you attempt to approach, it gives the power to the guard to demand identification...


[The regulation]....came in response to an “extraordinary request”....[and] is highly unusual to have this declaration done by order-in-council.... using what is known as a “covering” order-in-council....
Community Safety Minister Rick Bartolucci.... carefully weighed ... liberty concerns before agreeing to the one-time amendment.

The questions then is: Why should we believe this is a "one-time amendment"?
