The secretive provincial law relating to Toronto's G20 security fence was likely illegal and unconstitutional, gave police “extravagant” powers and “should never have been enacted,” Ontario Ombudsman André Marin found in a report released Tuesday.

The report also found widespread misapplication of the law, with police stopping, searching and arresting people passing well outside the area to which it applied.
