Disguise could bring 5-year term

May 7, 2012

The federal government has decided to throw its weight behind a private member's bill that would make it a crime to wear a disguise while taking part in a riot.

The bill, tabled by Alberta Conservative MP Blake Richards, was endorsed by the government Sunday, according to a news release from Justice Minister Rob Nicholson.

Richards' bill would amend two sections of the Criminal Code that cover the penalties for taking part in a riot or unlawful assembly, criminalizing the use of masks.

As the law stands now, Sections 65 and 66 state that participating in a riot could lead to two years behind bars.

If the bill - titled the Preventing Persons from Concealing Their Identity during Riots and Unlawful Assemblies Act - passes, wearing a disguise while participating in a riot would increase that jail term to five years.

What are the agent provocateurs going to do now?

They are exempt

The definition requires that the offenders should assemble of their own authority, in order to create a riot; if, therefore, the parties act under the authority of the law, they may use any necessary force to enforce their mandate, without committing this offence. http://www.constitution.org/bouv/bouvier_r.htm

It makes it so much harder to identify people wearing a mask with there cameras so they make up this law................
