Time & Date of Incident(s): 16/JUN/2022 - 22:00 ((UTC))
Charge(s): GM 10 Failure to Comply/Identify & GM 19 Face Concealment (b)
Narrative: Myself and my Wife, Haylie Svensson were at Burgershot wearing pug masks just generally fooling around trying to have fun with the 5+ other people that were there, 2 police officers (badge numbers 23050 & 23123) entered the establishment and immediately ordered everybody to remove their mask(s), I opted to instead sit in my vehicle which was parked less than 10 steps away as is my right as per the penal code to wear a mask whilst in my own vehicle if I wish to do so. I didn't hear the officers say anything else as I walked away so I was under the assumption that this was okay. My wife came and sat in the car shortly after with me and we assumed again, all was well. Not 30 seconds after this the officers left the establishment and entered their vehicle at which point they attempted to back out of the parking lot, striking several vehicle in the process including my own. The officer(s) sat behind my vehicle in their cruiser with no lights on and I overheard the male officer say to the female "Are we pulling them over" to which she stated "No" at which point I turned my engine on and drove slowly around the corner. They immediately followed me and put their sirens on, pulling me over to which I turned my engine off and complied fully.
Once their backup arrived they continued with the traffic stop, approaching my vehicle and ordering myself and my wife out of it and to stand on the side-walk, I asked them why I was being dragged out of my vehicle to which they responded by pointing tasers at mine and my wife's face once again ordering us out of the vehicle and to stand on the side walk. We complied with their demands and removed our masks and identified myself but my wife was never asked for any form of identification even though she was also essentially ripped from the vehicle with threats of being tazed.
The female officer explained that she is going to charge me with Failure to Comply and Face concealment (b) because I refused to remove my mask when she asked me to. I then explained that the penal code is very clear on the wording of both citation and misdemeanour which states under GC 04 Face Concealment "Individuals who defy a lawful request to remove and/or keep their facial concealment off them are liable for this general citation, to which they will then be required to present their ID. Failing to comply and/or identify further will fall under GM-10 and subsequently upgrade GC-04 to GM-19." I then continued to explain that if me walking away to a location where I am allowed to wear a mask constitutes as refusing then I am only liable for the citation, I have provided my identification as requested and I have not received said citation within the last 7 days. The officer(s) did not seem to care about the clear wording of the penal code and instead opted for their own interpretation.
I would also like to add that, out of the 7 or 8 people that were present on scene, to my recollection none of them removed their mask(s) yet I was the 1 who was singled out and arrested simply because I chose to sit in my own vehicle. My wife whom was there also didn't remove her mask and she did exactly the same and sat in the vehicle instead alas, she did not get identified, arrested nor even receive a citation along with every other person that was there during the incident. It is painfully clear that the officers conduct was being singled out towards me rather than enforcing the law whether that be a personal vendetta or some other insignificant, unlawful reason.
I, [Felix Svensson], hereby affirm that all information provided above is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, and understand that knowingly providing false information could result in additional charges and/or fines.
