Charlie Veitch, second person charged under Canada’s Public Works Protection Act, was arrested at the G20 in Toronto for allegedly being too close to a 10-foot fence sealing off the public from the event. However, as his attorney Clayton Ruby points out, police ordered Veitch next to the fence. The 5-meter proximity ban was passed in secret, so his attorney asks, how can people in a democracy follow a law that was never published?

Veitch was later charged with impersonating a police officer, when he identified himself as a member of the British Secret Service. Ruby explains that the law only bans impersonating Canadian police or intelligence, not foreign ones.
