Seamus Wolfe and Marc Kelly's arrest caught on camera.
On Tuesday afternoon the student president of the University of Ottawa, Seamus Wolfe, and student Marc Kelly were arrested on campus. Immediately below is the first part of the video, captured by student Joseph Hickey. It shows the arrest of Marc Kelly. Below that is part two which shows the arrest of Seamus Wolfe.

Funny how there’s always a video camera following this guy. It would seem that he’s looking to provoke people and catch it all on tape.
Where’s Bob Saget when you need him. This could be Ottawa U’s funniest home video.
The president looks like a yappy little chihuahua. He’d make a great WWE character with the fake dive while being handcuffed.

Now I know what happens when you call a cop “f*ck face”.
I don’t necessary condone/support the arrest of Shamus here, although he should have known better than to cross that line.
I’m more interested in knowing more about that student who was arrested for trespassing. Technically if he stepped one foot on a peice of property owned by the University of Ottawa he could have been arrested – if in fact he was asked not to return to the school.
What precipitated the events with Marc Kelly that lead to all of this? What is his appeal about? Who did piss off at that University that has the power to have him arrested for trespassing? I think that these are the more interesting questions that need to be asked.

@Richard – Marc Kelly obtained employment as President (of uottawa) Allan Rock’s aide, and then used that position to spy on him and feed confidential documents that MAY (as in it’s still sketchy) have shown financial misconduct at the level of the president’s office to Rock’s detractors.
Wolfe went to jail for swearing. Obviously it’s not smart to provoke a cop, but for Christ’s sake, if that’s not an abuse of power, I don’t know what is.

You don’t need a search warrant incident to arrest. You don’t need a warrant to arrest if the officer observes an offense being committed (i.e. trespass to property). Just because you have a lease doesn’t mean you own anything. SFUO may be the legal occupiers of the office but not of the property 2 blocks in all directions.
SFUO Prez needs to sort out his law before he makes an ass out of himself.
