A Toronto Metropolitan University alumni says he was wrongfully arrested by GardaWorld security after guards allegedly mistook him for Canada Cop Watch. The incident began June 7 2026 after security attempted to remove several people from a public sidewalk on Gerrard Street East, despite claims the sidewalk was public... property and outside their jurisdiction. The following night, Auditing Canada returned and was surrounded, handcuffed, and taken into custody by security at aprox 9:10pm on June 8 2026. He remained detained in a security office for more than 9 hours while waiting for Toronto Police. During that time, he says he was initially denied access to a washroom and was forced to urinate in a bottle before finally being allowed to use one at approximately 2:00 AM. Toronto Police did not arrive until shortly after 5:00 AM, when a trespass notice was ultimately issued. Independent journalists repeatedly called Toronto Police for updates, spending approximately two hours on hold across two separate calls before being told officers were tied up with life-and-death emergencies. Meanwhile, Canada Cop Watch observed two Toronto police cruisers parked just south of the campus with officers talking. After noticing they were being filmed, the cruisers drove away. TMU later responded by email stating the guards involved had been removed from the campus and that policies were being reviewed. However, it is alleged that several of those same guards have since been seen working on campus. This incident has raised serious questions about the authority of private security, the length of citizen detentions, and whether someone should be kept in handcuffs for over 9 hours while waiting for police. Do you believe this detention was reasonable, or did security exceed their authority?show more
