Mohamed Bekkali was arrested and charged with criminal defamation. This came after he insulted a SPVM officer in a viral video. The original incident happened in March, but the arrest and charges are now. This highlights a growing issue of disrespect towards authority figures, and how online actions can have real-world legal consequences. People are fed up with this kind of behaviour. Richard Martineau even wrote in the Journal de Montréal, saying "Ras-le-pompon de ces sans-gêne". He was charged with criminal defamation.
