Vancouver police have arrested Trevor from the APC for simply observing
them while they questioned another individual as the COPE Ideas Fair was
letting out. He is being charged with obstruction. Presumably, their line
of reasoning is that observing them obstructs their ability to abuse
their powers and deny rights to people they are harassing.
Police apparently dragged Trevor away by his feet and took him to the
police station at Main and Cordova where he is still in custody.
The Anti-Poverty Committee is asking people to come down to the police
station as soon as possible (Saturday evening) to support Trevor. They
will be there until he is released.
The individual that Trevor was 'cop watching' for was never charged.
