Man seeks $100,000 damages in rare Toronto G20 civil trial, claiming police assault
In an incident captured on video, Stewart says he went to Allan Gardens on the Friday afternoon of the summit weekend in June 2010. He says several officers demanded to search his bag as a condition of entry into the park. It also maintains that awarding damages would help hold police accountable for allegedly violating civil rights. Since the summit, a senior police officer has been found guilty of misconduct for ordering mass arrests that weekend. One official report branded the mass detentions and arrests that weekend as one of Canada’s worst violations of civil liberties.
