The Supreme Court of BC refused to extend an injunction against old growth forest protests in and around Fairy Creek. But the rejection had nothing to do with logging or the actions of the protesters. Instead, Justice Thompson turned down the logging company’s request because of how the RCMP have behaved while enforcing the injunction, offering a stinging rebuke of the national police force. Kent Roach, a law professor at the University of Toronto [said], “I am not aware of any case where police misconduct has been cited as a reason to stop such an injunction.” …The decision of Justice Thompson is not the first rebuke of the Mounties in recent years, including the force’s handling of other protests. And Robert Gordon, a professor of criminology at Simon Fraser University in BC, said it is unlikely to be the last.
