Halton Regional Police Chief Steve Tanner in a statement on Twitter says that the Halton Police will not be randomly stopping vehicles as part of the new guidelines set out by the Province of Ontario.
To our amazing Halton citizens. We are all going through a horrific year of COVID-19 and all associated with it together. The HRPS will NOT be randomly stopping vehicles for no reason during the pandemic or afterwards (RIDE being an exception). @GaryCarrHalton @CouncillorKnoll

Yesterday, Premier Doug Ford announced that Ontario was giving police temporary powers to enforce its stay-at-home order and allowing them to stop individuals and vehicles and ask their reasons for leaving their homes.
