BREAKING @ONgov guts police oversight system, scraps police complaints body, leaving only police to oversee the police. #ONpoli

BREAKING - @ONsafety mandates blood tests of suspects and criminalizes refusal if “suspected” of #HIV. #equality #charter

Nothing in @ONsafety materials online about this business of mandatory blood testing. More info needed from Ministry. Bill goes online at 3pm. #onpoli

The new police bill (scribd.com/document/40001…) includes changes to Mandatory Blood Testing statute. Refusing compliance with a court order to provide blood sample now brings jail time and the process for getting such an order is accelerated.

However, other than @ONsafety failure to consult with affected communities, we don't see the blood test changes as triggering civil liberties challenge but stay tuned. Thanks to halco.org for sharing expertise. #onpoli
