BREAKING: Ottawa Police move against peaceful protesters, arresting truckers in the streets.

More to come from our independent journalists. Follow us at ConvoyReports.com.

I just spoke with our reporter @lincolnmjay. He says that when he showed up with his camera, police seemed to stop what they were doing. He has not seen an arrest with his own eyes yet -- the situation is very dynamic. Will report more later.

More from Lincoln: police seem to be seizing fuel from truckers. Fuel is not an illegal substance; this really seems like lawlessness on the part of the police. I can't fathom what possible colour of right allows them to seize property without a warrant.

To clarify, as of 7:05 p.m., Rebel News reporters cannot confirm with our own eyes that police have arrested the truckers.

On what basis are police detaining anyone who brings fuel to a truck?

UPDATE: I have spoken with David Anber, and hired him to represent every trucker who received a ticket/charge tonight. I'll pay for it through crowdfunding, at TruckerLawyer.ca -- please chip in if you can. Thanks.
