The Vancouver police board has asked retired officers to investigate police surveillance of pro-Palestinian demonstrations following complaints from protesters and legal advocates about the excessive use of force and invasions of privacy during a protest on May 31, 2024. Protesters have accused the police of attempting to criminalise and repress people's right to freedom of expression; conducting surveillance via drones, personal mobile phones, and body-worn cameras; and using extreme force.
