Covid-19 has made law enforcement more difficult. Crime rates have not abated but social tension, mental breakdowns, and Covid restrictions have increased dramatically. Covid has put police in a position of enforcing rules, mandates, and regulations as if they are laws. Few of these have yet been challenged under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The public has generally complied given the unprecedented nature of the pandemic. But as two weeks to flatten the curve turned to two years of lockdowns, the populace is getting cranky and less compliant.
