There are several legal steps that can be taken to ensure public order is respected. Police can utilize laws such as those concerning rioting, inciting a riot, interfering with policing activities and assault to disrupt unlawful activity. Additionally, municipal by-laws may be enforced in certain cases. Finally, specific criminal offences such as mischief and breach of peace can also be laid when the behaviour warrants it.
