Police in Montreal showed up at various newsrooms in the city, armed with warrants for the seizure of video footage of Monday night's riot.
News organizations, including CTV Montreal, will challenge the seizure in court. The CTV station handed over its riot footage, but placed the two DVDs in a sealed envelope. It has asked the envelope remain sealed until a judge rules on the matter. The station also filed a letter of protest.

The police visited a total of 10 newsrooms.
The CAJ, moral paragon that it is, reared up on its hind legs and bleated about this issue.
