Ontario should follow the lead of Quebec and adopt legislation banning criminal groups from publicly displaying their names and logos, says an organized crime expert.
Quebec Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière tabled legislation last month aimed at reinforcing public safety by barring the public display of names and images associated with an “entity with a criminal purpose.”
The proposed legislation, known as Bill 13, also includes provisions to create a public list of high-risk sex offenders and to ban protests near the homes of politicians.
If passed, members of outlaw motorcycle gangs could face fines ranging from $1,000 to $15,000 for wearing patches or clothing displaying a club’s name or logo in public.
