As the criminal trial of ‘Freedom Convoy’ leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber continues, the Crown has released never-before-seen video evidence showing what the occupation of the nation’s capital was like from the police perspective.
Ottawa Police Inspector Russell Lucas testified that officers were often “swarmed” and that convoy participants became more volatile as the demonstration continued.
The drone footage reveals the scope of the protest which saw big rigs clogging up the core and spilling over into residential neighborhoods.
The video also gives an overhead view of the convoy’s logistics centre on Coventry Road, which is about five kilometres east of Parliament Hill.
The Crown alleges that Lich and Barber conspired together to encourage thousands of followers to come to Ottawa to participate in an occupation that gridlocked the city.
Central to the case are three words: “Hold the line.” The Crown says the infamous phrase isn’t a rallying cry, but a call to break laws.
