"The [Ontario Park Police] is required under the Police Services Act to uphold the laws of Ontario, yet its officers allow lawlessness to occur daily, whether it's the blocking of roads, burning of bridges or turning a blind eye to many illegal acts by some.
The fact that they allowed some who were having arrest warrants sworn against them in a Cayuga court last week to walk by them with immunity glaringly shows the double standard of the application of the law that they were sworn to uphold.
The OPP has totally bungled this situation from the get-go. They have selectively applied the law as they have seen fit. This is not a lawful society. This is selective anarchy."
