Don’t even think it’s legal.

Are people even required by law to tell police where they are going or provide ID unless they have probable cause?

I think if you are operating a motor vehicle you have to provide a driver license.

That still leaves a lack of probable cause though.

I don't think you have to state where you are going because every Canadian is guaranteed right to free movement under the charter.


With that being said maybe they rammed in some laws recently or there is special clauses than can be put into place during a time like this.

Im just gonna bring my work ID with me if I go to vsncouver now 😂

Well, it's a checkpoint for everyone. So they can ask what your name is, what your address is and owner of vehicle based on the Motor Vehicle Act.
So if you say you're from coquitlam, and you got stopped going into vancouver, their probable cause would be like asking why you're breaking restriction to go outside your health authority region. They dont have to ask where you're going, cuz they already know you went from your address to vancouver lol, unless they're asking for simplicity so like you say for work, provide proof and done
I think you can remain to stay silent, and get fined but why do that if u got nothing to hide

Because I got a tee time next week in Vancouver and it’s not my health authority

So is this different than a drinking check point? Because legally we don’t need to say anything

so if i have a service appointment in north van and I live in richmond I can still get that done right?

:|

Same health authority.

But also it’s essential?

It's vehicle service is that ok?

I think so, but I don’t really know

Nah exact same, they don't need to ask either. Only what they're legally allowed to ask through motor vehicle act and its self explanatory. Just don't have drugs, alcohol, all the shit visible in ur car cuz that's probable cause for them to do more than mva
