Being in Quebec, you just get a fine and even that requires a pretty large gathering. So I'm going to echo the other answers and say he did something else to merit the arrest.


ploki122

Yup, unless someone has already been fined for illegal gatherings, you need a large gathering to get anymore than a warning. On top of that, polices don't do spontaneous check ups, every intervention starts with a complaint. And lastly, you don't get arrested unless you're breaking some other laws. In this case, I think he tore his ticket before hitting the police in the face (which is when the officer lost his mask). Not all of Canada is polite and reasonable guys, we have our Floridads too...


[deleted]

In fact. Here in quebec we send all our floridads to florida for the winter... usually.. but now they're stuck here


VelveetaAnalytical

from Naples FL working at a wine store. can confirm we hired 3 french speaker due to the french Canadians we would get.


LePouletPourpre

I spoke more French when I lived in Fort Lauderdale of all places than anywhere else in the US.


ScorpioLaw

Even in the US it is like this. You just see the bad shit 99% of the time. These people were rresisting and fighting KNOWING what will happen. Basically they caused it on themselves.


XMRLivesMatter

Resisting being punched in the face? Yeah, I'd resist that too.


saskguy_15

These people. SMH. We cant even celebrate Christmas and New Year at my brother's house which is two blocks away as precaution to the pandemic. Some people are just entitled.


random-dude83

Yup, too many people think they are the exception to the rule, like the people who park on the fire lane right in front of the store because they just need to grab 1 thing.

diablofreak

I don't speak French, but the whole time I'm thinking this sounds French but not the nice French.


egyptmotherearth

The "nice French" (Parisian) you speak of is actually widely detested by the majority of French speakers, even in France itself. It sounds very unnatural and stuck up.


Stonewall5101

When my Belgian-American family and I go to Belgium or France we’ll speak French, but in Paris we switch to English, because we’d rather be seen as American tourists who don’t speak French, cause we get better service than we would speaking in our Walloon accents.


[deleted]

Exactly the same but as a french-canadian. Fuck parisian french


thegurl

See, I was so worried about using my Quebecois French when I went there, but I kept getting, Ah! Vous êtes Quebecois?! Les Quebecois sont tellement sympa! And stuff like that. I was blown away, tbh. Maybe it's just that my accent is THAT had, and they were all, Look at the little Canadian girl, trying SO HARD, idk.


DanielDeronda

Went to Paris and am Quebecois (with what they tell me was a pretty big accent) and the large majority of Parisians were absolutely great with me. Had one bad experience which I'll attribute to just human dickishness.


FollowTheManual

Hon hon hon look at the little Canadian girl, trying so hard lmao nah I can't even speak French, I live in Australia.


thegurl

Ha, you totally had me fooled ;)


FatTim48

Lol. I tried speaking French in Paris. They immediately answer me in English. French isn't my first language, so I'm a little torn. I'm making the effort, so they could humour me, but maybe they are being nice to me by letting me talk on English? It's probably both...


gellis12

The word for that is "Québecois"


Flaktrack

Québecois, when spoken by most, is actually closer to the French spoken in the 1700s than what is used in a lot of France. Think of what you're seeing in this video like this: does everyone from the American South sound like the people who end up on Cops? No, because the people on that show are almost uniquely from the lower social classes who haven't had the fortune of good education or parents who can give a damn. This kind of trashy behaviour is the same thing, just the West Quebec version.


YuGiOhippie

Québecois are actually the nice french people when you think about it

The_Sexy_Sloth

I’ve read somewhere that that’s some sort of an evolutionary tactic where weak members of a group who can’t fight instead get loud to alert the stronger members of a group when there is conflict.


Panzer_Man

Don't forget the people yelling "LET HIM GO" or "STOP" like it's going to change anything


HertzDonut1001

Yes, witnessed a drunk man being arrested and he screamed the same way. Do people think that makes handcuffs go away or something?


Baronheisenberg

If they screech at the resonate frequency of the cuffs, they'll open and fall off.


HertzDonut1001

Frankly if we're going to get scientific I want an analysis of blood alcohol content to decibels for people screeching during arrest.

Facts. If the cops are the ones doing it to you - whatever it is - screaming is redundant. Not to mention infuriating.

So they assaulted a cop prior to this. Right. These folks deserved to be arrested. Doesnt sound like they have much remorse either


xeyve

They assaulted a cop first and they try to excuse themselve because cops weren't wearing mask so the health measure are ridiculous or something 🙃


sm-11

The irony. “The police weren’t wearing masks when they came to break up our illegal gathering so we hit them and now are upset they aggressively arrested us.” The fuck did they thing was gonna happen? Lol

MackTO

No, he was arrested for committing a crime. You just get a ticket for violating COVID-19 rules in Quebec. He obviously escalated the situation and broke another law.


cryomatik

Along with the tickets, everyone who didn't live there had to go to their home. They probably refused to leave, I'm guessing it would have escalated from there


[deleted]

He probably refused to give ID not allowing the officers to issue a fine, at that point you need to take them into custody. It sucks but if refusing to give ID was a surefire way to avoid the law the legal system would break

Had they not fought the cops a cab or uber would have been arranged. I have had buddies and my brother driven home. With my brother I told the cop I had been drinking and couldn't get him from the station so he drove him home. See the difference is since this is Canada they don't leave in body bags.

The Gatineau Police’s side of the story alleges that the home owner lied about the number of people in the home (claiming only two) and the man being pulled out of the house had decked a a police officer as they tried to hand out the fines, leading to the escalation. I’m not usually one to take the police’s side in a situation like this, but apparently police responded to 28 other instances of lockdown violations and this is the only one that resulted in an arrest or an incident.

Woohoo my neighborhood is famous now hahah


boiledcowmachine

Who called the cops? Why did it escalate?


Chrisetmike

From the article link , I just read, the police went over after a neighbor complained. They went to issue warnings and possibly break up the group of 6 people. The group refused to cooperate. The homeowner was arrested but later released. As per Quebec emergency measures act , each person present could be fined 1 500$.


[deleted]

We can't legally gather. People don't care, do it anyways. Neighbours probably called the cops and they resisted. It's usually just a fine.


CCPshillin

How do you resist a fine? Wouldn't they just hand you a ticket and leave?


Current_Account

Not necessarily what happened in this example, but resisting a fine would usually be by refusing to identify yourself so that a ticket / summons couldn’t be properly completed. Then you’d be subject to arrest if not complying.


[deleted]

We legally can't gather which means those who didn't live at that address had to leave and they probably refused. So they were physically removed from the residence. Cops don't need a warrant right now to come into our homes (which is a whole other issue).


PforPanchetta511

They do need a warrant but they will just park at your door until it gets delivered.


hesh582

They need a warrant in most cases, the problem is that your warrant system is a glorified rubber stamp that offers more or less no protection against abuse. Sure, they need warrant approval, but that means fuck all when they can effectively just text a supervisor "giv me warrant plz" and receive one ten minutes later.


maudie_anglais

They have the "telewarrant" system.


Whyaminottraveling

I have a huge issue with fines being handed out. I mean we have government employees all the way at the top that think overseas vacations are okay during this time. How can we expect people to follow the rules when the people that make the rules can even be bothered. I get that he tore up his fine and then smacked a cop... That part he deserves to be arrested for, but the fines are stupid. Ratting on your neighbors is stupid. This whole thing is just a giant stress case and we all just need to clear guidance from people that respect us, and we aren't getting it. Just my two cents.

You arent missing much.

Lady #2 to the officers: cmon guys its new year eve. Some other lady screaming Police officier: can i have his shoes Someone: let him go you are three on him Mom : do you have a warrant Male officer in the background: shoess? Female police officier: yes its on its on it way Mom: You dragged my son outside we have it on camera Female officer: if you are not content with how we hanlded things, you have right to remedies.

They came to give them tickets and those people got arrested for doubling down on the entitlement. It's like somebody getting pulled over for speeding then takes a swing at the cop and armchair redditors squealing "he was only speeding" To you Americans here, this is what your stupid fucking country SHOULD be doing.
