CRCC found RCMP's arrest of hiker near 2021 BC protest site groundless and unfounded.
The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC) found that RCMP officers acted unreasonably when they arrested a hiker near a 2021 protest site for old-growth logging in British Columbia's Fairy Creek area. The commission deemed the arrest "groundless" and criticized the demand for a search as "unfounded," as the man was legally using a forest service road. The CRCC is also investigating the RCMP's enforcement practices and compliance with legal standards.
