>The complaint this time isn't about the police using unnecessary force to brutalize the public. Our complaint is that they haven't upheld the law, and are acting like 'buddies' with the people that they are supposed to be ticketing/incarcerating.

What law have they not upheld? Some microscopic municipal bylaws? Can a municipal government create bylaws to criminalize peaceful assembly? I guess I have my answer, the Ottawa police says no.

>We just want the police to do their fucking job.

They have been so far. Great job Ottawa police.




>What law have they not upheld? Some microscopic municipal bylaws?

After googling it for 1 second:

Ontario Highway Traffic Act,R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8 at section 132

    132 (1) No motor vehicle shall be driven on a highway at such a slow rate of speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic thereon except when the slow rate of speed is necessary for safe operation having regard to all the circumstances.
There are more violations that apply to the truck drivers then general public too.
