The incident, which occurred on Grey Street in Chatham, Ontario, reportedly took place on January 13, 2021.

Police reportedly observed the group's car before pulling them over near Raleigh Street and Richmond Street.

After being stopped, one of the occupants of the car, a 20-year-old London man, was arrested and charged for falsely identifying himself.*

All occupants of the vehicle were later charged with failing to comply with a continued section 7.0.2 order.

According to the Government of Ontario, individuals can be fined for a number of offences under the 7.0.2 order including gathering in numbers that exceed the provincial limit.
