Ford government backtracks on giving police power to conduct random stops
The Ford government confirming it is walking back a move allowing police to randomly stop motorists or individuals to ask where they are going or request their home address.

The reversal comes after several police forces including Niagara and Hamilton said their officers would not conduct the random stops.
