VANCOUVER Details of B.C.’s new plans to restrict travel within the province won’t be announced until Friday, but lawyers are already predicting that it will spell trouble. The new order will give police the power to conduct COVID-19 road blocks aimed at curbing travel between health regions, and civil rights and criminal lawyers are saying that aspects of it are likely to be challenged in court. “Currently police do not have the legal authority to ask questions like ‘Where are you going, where are you coming from, for what purpose,’” said lawyer Hasha Walia, the executive director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.
