Group of Ontario Police Officers Challenging Pandemic Restrictions

Group argues the rules are not rational

The CBC is reporting the group, consists of 19 regional police officers, 15 of them active and four retired, from Niagara, Toronto, York, Ottawa, Hamilton and the RCMP.

The news agency says the suit contends Canada's pandemic laws are not rational, and have no force or effect.

It also says stay at home orders and curfews are forms of martial law and wearing masks and social distancing are not scientifically or medically based because they are based on the number of coronavirus cases, which the suit claims are 96.5 percent false.

The group also wants religious gathering and protests to be exempt from pandemic restrictions,

Details of the suit were outlined in a news conference by the group's lawyer Rocco Galati, head of the Constitutional Rights Centre in Toronto.
