I have been told there's a strong connection between the two Police Force against me in court.
It all fits in because the bureaucrats denied me a lawyer and the Police Force wish to use me as an example.
Anyone taking pictures? Will be arrested in the spot!!!!
In Canada??? I would love the National media to cover this story but it's pretty hard when the Irving media calls you a protester.
I wonder why the Irvings haven't covered this story? The Police Force deleted all my pictures. Isn't this a good freedom of speech story?

Interesting thought, but who 'told ' you. Of course that's not really surprising, police forces all over the world delete pictures and videotape all the time.
This is definitely a good 'freedom of the press' story. I suspect its because those who may be sympathetic to the protestors are more likely to show up, whereas mainstream media doesn't tend to follow police around.
Police don't like having their pictures taking, especially at work, but I think not only should this be enhanced, it should be enforced. A clerk working in a store is on video their entire time at work, and their jobs is far less contentious.
WHen police forces don't want to be seen in how they do their job, then people should rightfully get suspicious. As they say about society-if you aren't doing anything wrong, then you've got nothing to worry about. This would help curb any police excesses which occur, and would be far better for society.
Keep on blogging Charles, you can always find the real fascists when you make posts like this, there are many that think 'some' people simply don't deserve rights and 'deserve what they get', even if its police brutality. That isn't true of most people, and its only by public pressure that these things can be dealt with.
It certainly fits the facts, remember, police are in ONE union together. And it explains why nobody else taking pictures was arrested, let alone had pictures deleted. Since the mainstream media rarely covers police activity except in a positive light, they have nothing to fear from them. But bloggers are a different story.
I understand where you're coming from Charles but because you were there in protest against the Atlantica conference means you were a protester. I mean, you still wear the shirt the odd time. lol
Charles,
You're a certifiable nutjob. You were arrest because the cop told you to leave and you didn't.
It's called obstruction.
Even media have to move back when cops tell them to leave. Idiotically shouting "I'm a blogger" doesn't mean diddly sqaut.
Stop being so stupid.
The last comment must be from some bureaucrats?
Who cares?
No one told me to leave the area but what I find very interesting is that the people wearing masks were totally ignored but they went after the blogger.
They forced me right to the ground...etc etc etc....
China in New Brunswick???
I think so but the only different here is that there's no exacutions.
These bureaucrats will sent the poor in courts without lawyers and at the end?
They end up in jail!!!!
Charles is right...again!
Regarding non-compliance with practices prescribed in the Tactical Operations Manual during the arrests
The Commission suggests that police officers proceeding with arrests should be photographed or filmed with the arrested individuals, that they should use flexible handcuffs and deliver the arrested individual to a member of the arrest team. In this respect, the Commission recommends that:
(19) the transfer of prisoners from tactical troop members to soft hats, as well as the identification process of prisoners and their transfer to the detention centre, be reviewed and amended, as required. More specifically, ensure that all police officers taking part in the deployment of special RCMP units in New Brunswick be familiar and comply with internal policies as contained in the Tactical Operations Manual with respect to the numbering of flexible handcuffs and the photographing of prisoners with the arresting officer.
Look I like to be sympathetic to you guys and especially to the cause of anti-antlantica. I have lot of respect for some of those folks involved. It is a reason to be proud to be a demonstrator for good causes and nothing to be ashamed of.
However, being abusive to other people will not help. Voice of Sanity has a point and pay attention instead of being rude. People who criticize for good reasons are constantly being insulted by Charlie and by some of his misguided supporters.
Charles Leblanc has lost sympathies of lot of people, whose support mattered, because of his attitude.
His blog has become meaningless because of that attitude. Now some people visit to see how much more crazy would he get however he is achieving nothing and he is further digging himself into a hole.
From a legal standpoint, the question could be were anybody told to leave. Charles is not media, he had the shirt on, he was with the protestors, and he attended their meeting in Fredericton before the protest.
However, that has nothing to do with this thread, which is that the police are 'sending a message'. That's a scary thought, and its too bad all the video from the protest isn't available online because everybody has to speculate.
That brings up the above post about photographing. This is a SCARY precedent and nobody should be siding with the police on this one. This isn't about 'police bashing', this is a case where the police did a very bad thing, and if they get away with it, that sends an even scarier message-that people will tolerate police abuse.
Once again....I wasn't with the protesters. But you're not going to believe moi anyway....
Legally it doesn't matter if you were standing with the protestors or not. We can agree that its discrimination, for some reason you were arrested and others not. The above commentor points out that he was there, and that 'media' were not told to leave. However, you are not media as you have no press pass. If that were the case any person in a mask who got arrested could just say 'I'm not trying to break in, I'm covering it for my school paper'.
The prosecution can point to your T shirt and your blog. You ARE a protestor (just not this specific issue). So LEGALLY you can't claim to be media, which means you were WITH the protestors (just not trying to break in).
Thats the legal issue. We've already been over the moral issue and its irrelevant-at least until people can post a video. CBC covered it quite well from what we can tell, and its perfectly obvious that you were picked out for prosecution.
I was watching this from very close and I think the police are definetly in the right.
You must be an Irving employee???
