Know Your Rights

 
 

Unsure how the COVID-19 emergency orders impact your rights?

If so, The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has put together a fact sheet to help Ontarians understand how to interact with law enforcement.

It covers and answers 5 common questions:

#1 I’m walking down the street – can the police or other law enforcement officials approach me and ask me questions?

#2 When can the police stop me from walking away?

#3 How can I tell if I’m being detained or arrested, or if I’m free to walk away?

#4 Do I have to answer police questions?

#5 Can law enforcement detain me and force me to answer questions if they think I am breaking a COVID-related order?

For the answers to these questions, read The Canadian Civil Liberties Association guide here

    I will be flying into Canada early June. I would like to not go to the government mandatory quarantine hotels. What can you tell me about my rights in that area. I do have alternative quarantine arrangements and really do not feel that the hotel is safe.
