February 7, New Zealand citizens clamoring for their inherent right to freedom absolutely saturated the area around Parliament, as thousands filled the area. And, like Canada, New Zealand's Prime Minister would not discuss matters with them. Jacinda Ardern refused to meet her fellow citizens, claiming that not only did she have "other priorities" to attend to, but that "this too shall pass."

Two days later, police had made over 120 arrests at the Freedom Convoy, stating that people were "trespassing" and were guilty of "obstruction."

The New Zealand Police tweeted out at this time, "Wellingonians have the right to conduct their lives and go about their business without the interference of ongoing unlawful activity."

Throughout the past two years, New Zealand has had incredibly tight travel restrictions. Many Kiwis have ended up stranded away from home within their own country, as a result. Families have been separated, forced apart by those who claim that they are serving the public's interest.

New Zealanders are forced to show their "papers" anytime they enter a church, attend a rugby match, or go to many other venues as well. The Kiwis are fed up.

And now they're being punished for saying 'no.'

Parked vehicles are being given traffic tickets, drones and security cameras (most likely with facial recognition software) are being used to identify protestors, and anybody arrested is being told they cannot "lawfully" reenter the protest, as having been served trespassing papers, they would then be in violation of their trespassing notice.
