Ontario police may ID children if they are part of a public gathering: Peel police

The video, which has since been viewed more than 7,000 times on Instagram, shows several young people hurrying away on scooters from the skate park. One of them can be heard saying “they’re asking for IDs” in reference to two uniformed OPP officers standing near a young boy.

The new measures would allow police to stop and ID people who officers have reason to believe are participating in an “organized public event or social gathering.” According to the new rules, public gatherings are now prohibited unless they are between members of the same household, or between two households in situations where people live alone.

if police are dealing with minors, then the process would include notifying and talking to a parent or a related adult, she added. Brodie Ohare, who posted the video to his Instagram page, wrote in the caption: “Today I witness a 12-year-old get pushed over by a police officer at our local skate park in Gravenhurst Ontario.”Article contentSgt. Jason Folz, the media relations coordinator for the OPP central region, said the officers had stopped to talk to the group of youths because they were at a skate park that had been closed as per Ontario stay-at-home orders.

Keep making Canada a commie police state living hell, and people are just gonna leave 🤷🏻‍♂️

So as children that came n went after check ins with the folks that now have children need to make sure they don't leave without there I.D. ?

Vote those bums out. In fact most of Ontario should be. Voted out of Canada for being so dumb and docile as to tolerate such abuse. Shame on you Ontario. Grow a set. Resist.

there was no gathering there was two teen's , its fine to do your job's & not be assholes .

Is it a crime for not having the ID nowadays ,please clarify

What a world we are living now ,a communist is dominant

Ok kids. If a cop asks you for ID tell him your under 12 and to FO. This is getting absurd.

Who carries id at 12, they're children. You know, NO WORRIES, POLICE ARE THE GOOD GUYS , jfc.

Are they allowed to assault them? Push them to the ground? Is that how the Peel police are interpreting this legislation?

I wonder if Ford knew this when he opened that door.

...they may also abuse them with physical force for not carrying ID. Because children carry ID. WTF kind of so called leaders are running this country. OPP

How do they expect to vote without IDs

They don’t even do this for gangbangers. Seems logical 🤷🏻‍♂️

If that was a politicians son would love to see what will the outcome be then.

Yeah this will FOR SURE bend the curve. Why are we even putting up with this anymore?

This is terrible. Another reason for children to be afraid of the police.

So the cops get a pass for knocking the CHILD off his scooter? Pathetic and my young kids didn't have ID so far as I'm concerned the cops can pound salt...

There goes the neighbourhood. Ontario is a joke that keeps getting bigger

Ah yes. I often travelled with ID at 12 years old. Safe from the police in my secret decoder ring I got I’m my cereal. Statements like these should make it clear to all we’re being ruled by morons. The cop was wrong in Gravenhurst and should be reprimanded. Not fired..reprimanded

ID is one thing, push, shove and scream is another!

He needs to be fired

No, just no. The psychological impacts on youth from this pandemic will be studied for years to come.

Seriously wtf officers these are kids.

OPP_News should I start sewing a gold star for children?

Welcome to your police state lemmings. 😜

Absolutely ridiculous! Imagine being a kid playing and instead just saying 'come on guys move along' you are subjugated to be interrogating ? Where has common sense gone? They are not criminals, they are kids.

I'd like to offer this to all kids in Ontario. Please print and cut out and keep in your pocket when skating at the park. fordnation onpoli

I was wondering what ever became of that grade school bully......

Exactly what ID should 12-year-olds be carrying when at the park? They don't even have a student card. Serious question. Only a hint of incredulity.

I thought police in Ontario would have much greater concerns than trying to ID kids that don't carry ID, and calling their moms. Laughable and embarrassing. fordnation onpoli

'Peel police'? I've heard of defunding the police, but are you advocating that we should start peeling them now? ... ... Oh, wait. That isn't what you meant, is it. ... Never mind.

These were a bunch of teens being douchbags

Who would have thought Constitutional Law would need to be part of parental inculcation for Ontario children?

Losers

What's next?

This is beyond disgusting I wonder if this cop even has kids

More carding now. Break up gatherings and house parties ASAP. The rest of us suffer while they act like nothing is wrong.
