Underwear protest outside courthouse over pot, bong seizure

A Cambridge, Ont. man is protesting in his underwear to get his bong and medical marijuana back from Waterloo Region police. 

The briefs he is bringing to court are brightly coloured, accompanied by socks and running shoes. 31-year-old Jeffrey Shaver has been protesting outside the Kitchener, Ont., courthouse and various police stations in the region while smoking a bong.

• 7 people face marijuana charges during traffic stops in Wellington County
• 'The law is still the law' police say of pot dispensary bust in Kitchener

Usually beside him are two signs, reading "Return My Bong" and "Return My Marijuana."

Shaver, who was protesting at the courthouse earlier this week, claims he is a registered medical marijuana user but was arrested by Waterloo Regional Police in October for possession of marijuana.

He says police seized his bong and about two grams of marijuana, and he says he won't stop protesting until he gets the items back.

In a statement, police say they are reviewing the circumstances around Shaver's claim and confirmed they received a complaint from him in connection with his arrest that has been registered with the Office of the Independent Police Review Director.
