G20 Protests have turned to G20 Riots!!!
A lot of lawyers will be needed after this.
People will be going to court for a long time.
Know any good lawyers?
Police say 600+ people have been arrested in connection with G20-related protests after a major police crackdown in parts of downtown Toronto and further arrests at a protest outside a temporary detention centre. Elsewhere, protesters on bikes took to downtown streets and arrests were reported there as well.
Police said that 224 people had been arrested since 6 a.m. on Sunday alone.
The number of arrests has sent G20-designated courtrooms at 2201 Finch Ave. W. into overdrive. On Sunday afternoon, the building teemed with lawyers and frantic family and friends hoping to bail out people picked up by police.

Securing protesters' Rights
In the aftermath rights of the 1997 APEC summit in Vancouver, a Canadian judge concluded that protesters have the right to be seen and heard, which means that visiting leaders cannot be shielded from lawful protests. Canadian officials have determined that this means arrangements must be made so that protesters will be visible to those participating in the summit. In a 2007 summit which brought together the Canadian Prime Minister and the presidents of Mexico and the United States, security organizers restricted demonstrators to a forest clearing more than a kilometre away, while using a video feed to beam images of the protests to a large monitor where the leaders could watch if they wanted. In response to questioning about demontrations and protesters, a spokesman for the authorities explained, "It remains our view that what they don't have the right to do is to preclude leaders from meeting. We will take the steps necessary to ensure that leaders can meet and that protesters will have an oppurtunity to protest.
The cost of hosting the G8 and G20 summits now stands at $1.1 billion and further outlays are likely, federal documents show.
The price tag includes $160 million for hospitality, infrastructure, food safety and extra staffing. That amount is in addition to the $933-million security bill the Tories revealed . Security costs at previous summits
