The London Police Service says it's reviewing information received from the province about the updated stay-at-home order that temporarily grants police forces across Ontario higher enforcement powers. Under the revised order, starting Saturday and for the remainder of the extended six-week stay-at-home order, police have the authority to stop and ask anyone outside their residence to indicate why they have left their home and provide their address. In addition to the revised policing powers, the province is also banning outdoor gatherings of people from different households, closing outdoor recreational amenities and setting up provincial border checkpoints. On Friday evening, the London Police Service (LPS) said they were waiting for the government to reveal specific details about the revised order. Jones said those who fail to answer police inquiries or who are caught breaking the stay-at-home order can face a $750 ticket.
