Conceived in response to the general outcry in the aftermath of the G20, the (full name) "Independent Civilian Review into Matters Relating to the G20 Summit" presents an opportunity to go on the record in a public forum with recommendations about future policing oversight.

This is the presentation by Bruce Cox, the director of Greenpeace Canada. He recounts his experience with police surveillance and outlines his recommendations to the Review:

Conduct a review of police surveillance at the G20
Make a failure to display police ID at major events an act punishable by immediate dismissal
Pass a policy banning the use of 'kettling'
Deny Toronto Police Chief Blair the ability to purchase the leftover crowd control devices from the G20 - eg; LRADs, water cannon, cameras
