Either people are going to rise up and ignore their laws and protest the police state they are creating, or they will continue to beg the government for protection against all forms of threat. The so called conservative leader in Ontario (40% of Canada's population resides in Ontario) passed a law allowing police to stop vehicles and people found not in their houses and demand their address, and their reason for not being in their homes. Again, this is a conservative? Yeah, right.
They shut down everything yet again (including playgrounds) and have determined that the population should go back to solitary confinement for a few more weeks.
To be fair, they changed the law from being able to stop anybody and question them (with a $750 penalty for not telling the officers why you are out of your house) to only stopping people who they have reason to suspect are attending a public event. It's like they learned that you make the most outragous legislation you can (and trounce the few remaining rights that people have) and then you take back the worst parts and expect people to thank you and accept what they otherwise would not. Hell, it worked for the Canadian civil liberties association who were going to challenge it but now think it is fine.
I have already determined that I am going to use the Geneva convention and offer my name, rank and serial number only. If it's good enough for a POW, it is good enough for a citizen of the country...
From the convention... "Every prisoner of war is required to declare, if he is interrogated on the subject, his true names and rank, or his regimental number. If he infringes this rule, he exposes himself to a restriction of the privileges accorded to prisoners of his category. No pressure shall be exercised on prisoners to obtain information regarding the situation in their armed forces or their country. Prisoners who refuse to reply may not be threatened, insulted, or exposed to unpleasantness or disadvantages of any kind whatsoever."
I think it would be funny. I know I would get a fine- but maybe it would make a point?
