The lawyer for 91裸聊视频淔reedom Convoy91裸聊视频� organizer Chris Barber told a judge Monday that a court order banning honking in downtown Ottawa during the protest wasn91裸聊视频檛 clear enough.

Barber and his co-accused, Tamara Lich, are defending themselves against charges of mischief, intimidation and counselling others to break the law.

Barber faces the additional charge of counselling others to disobey a court order by encouraging protesters to honk their horns.

In a TikTok video posted during the protest, Barber let other protesters know to keep the horns down because of the court order, but said if a large mass of police officers show up that they should let their horns go and not stop.

His lawyer, Diane Magas, said in her closing arguments that there were exceptions to the order, including emergencies.

That exception wasn91裸聊视频檛 clear, she argued, saying the threat of an unlawful arrest by riot police may have constituted an emergency in Barber91裸聊视频檚 mind.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 a stretch,91裸聊视频� Justice Heather Perkins-McVey said when Magas introduced the argument Monday.

In the days before the TikTok video, Magas said Barber91裸聊视频檚 social media posts suggested he had growing fears about riot police showing up and kettling protesters 91裸聊视频� a controversial law-enforcement practice that involves corralling and containing large crowds in a limited area.

She noted that it91裸聊视频檚 OK to resist arrest if 91裸聊视频渋t91裸聊视频檚 an unlawful arrest.91裸聊视频�

Monday marks day four of closing arguments in the criminal trial of the two organizers, which has been legally complicated and marked with dozens of starts and stops since it began last September.

Magas told the court last week that her client is not responsible for the individual actions of protest participants.

The Crown has already told the court that Lich and Barber knowingly 91裸聊视频渃rossed the line91裸聊视频� between legal protest and illegal mischief-making. The Crown will get a chance to reply to the defence arguments before the end of the trial.
