People ticketed for breaking public health rules during a pro-Palestinian car rally in Halifax say they were "shocked" to receive a fine while sitting in their car, and plan to fight the fine. The rally, which organizers with the Atlantic Canada Palestinian Society called the "Free Palestine COVID safe car rally" saw more than 200 cars participate. But multiple people say they were ticketed in the parking lot before the drive began when there was a bottleneck of traffic trying to leave. She said one Halifax Regional Police officer hit the car as he walked by in the parking lot, shouting at them to move along. Elborno said police thanked their group for the notice, and a few officers arrived at the Inglis Street parking lot around noon before the rally began.
