Police issue over $1,000 in fines after truck covered in 'Freedom Convoy' imagery drives onto Wellington
Police issue over $1,000 in fines after truck covered in"Freedom Convoy" imagery drives onto WellingtonPolice shared an image of the vehicle on social media: a white pickup truck covered in “Freedom Convoy” imagery and laden with flags.
“Reminder: Wellington St. remains closed to unauthorized vehicular traffic,” the Ottawa Police Service wrote in a tweet. “Fines were for driving with no licence, driving with a hand-held device, driving on a closed roadway and disobeying a sign.” Wellington Street has been blocked to most traffic since late February, when police cleared “Freedom Convoy” participants who had camped out and parked vehicles along the street in protest of COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The street is currently under the purview of the City of Ottawa, but a parliamentary committee is mulling expanding the parliamentary precinct to include Wellington and nearby Sparks Street. Larry Brookson, head of the Parliamentary Protective Service, told MPs last month that he believed Wellington Street ought to remain closed and should have strong barriers preventing vehicles from entering it.
