A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE – For anyone who was at the “Ottawa Protest” I recommend that you lawyerup with a criminal defence lawyer. For anyone who was there with a truck, just because you left doesn’t mean that the police won’t confiscate your rig, possibly when they come to serve you with criminal charges. For anyone who had kids there you may want to speak with a family law lawyer to get advice on what to do if the Children’s Aid Society calls.
