Toronto Cops Will Start Enforcing Lockdown Restrictions Targeting Freedom Rallies And Large Groups
It’s only a year late, but whatever.
CP24: Toronto police say they will begin a new approach to enforcing Ontario’s stay-at-home order starting on Thursday.
According to police, the service will launch a dedicated enforcement team in all sixteen divisions whose “primary function will be to respond to large gatherings in both indoor and outdoor settings.”
The divisional teams will be coordinated from a central command, police said, which will allow officers deployed across divisional boundaries if required.
Police said they will focus on large gatherings that fail to comply with emergency orders, with a “particular focus on indoor gatherings such as parties at short-term rentals or at bars and restaurants.”
The new enforcement teams will launch at 5 p.m. on April 22.
“We are at a critical stage of this pandemic,” Toronto Police Chief James Ramer said in a statement Wednesday. “COVID-19 is now a matter of public health and public safety. The Toronto Police Service will enforce the provincial orders and will work with the city’s bylaw officers and Toronto Public Health to enforce the measures that will help slow the rapid spread of COVID-19 that is putting public safety at risk.”
I’m personally looking forward to the body cam videos of dirties getting ticketed and arrested as they scream about their human rights.

The fact TPS released a crackdown statement means 2 things.
1) None of the charges will stick if people get ticketed. Ontario has been shit at enforcing the application of the Emergency Order for the past 12 months and anyone charged will cite the precedent of not enforcing the law and walk.
2) Toronto is scared.
It would have been nice if TPS and the province showed some scrotum a year ago when we weren’t getting fisted with 4-5k daily infections but as the old saying goes ‘better late than never’. That’s assuming they enforce the law instead of pretending to enforce it.
