WATCH: OPP officer tells renters ‘we’re gonna make it rain with tickets’ if found out during lockdown

The family residing at the house was from the Toronto area, but was staying at the Wasaga Beach property while looking at properties in the community.

Video from the home's doorbell on April 16th shows officers informing the guests of the earlier announced lockdown order from Premiere Doug Ford.

"At midnight tonight, it’s roadblocks. If you’re in a vehicle, we’re gonna pull you over and (ask) where you’re from, and if it doesn’t say Wasaga Beach, we’re gonna make it rain with tickets," the officer is heard telling the residents.

The family was then ordered to return to Toronto that night, according to Aaron Armstrong, the person who rented the home to the family.

Armstrong said his company had gone "to great lengths" to keep properties safe, and said that the officers came to the property as a result of an earlier complaint. Two friends had shown up to the residence to celebrate a birthday, but only five people were in the house, those two included.

His company had been renting properties to those doing home renovations or between homes, and had guests mark that they were not vacationing.

Detachment Commander Inspector Andrew Tait said that that several warnings had been issued that night by officers "as part of the educational piece" about the lockdown order.

Tait acknowledged that officers were unsure of the direction and stance they would have to take after hearing the lockdown orders, with many municipal police services announcing the next day they would not enforce the order to the extent those officers in the video stated.

Tait did state though that the incident was "a one-off where an officer was making their own interpretation as opposed to official direction that was given."

"As far as ‘raining’ with tickets, it goes without saying that’s not our purpose and that’s not our role, "We are, just as much as everybody else, navigating through this," said Tait.

"Something of that nature, ensuring professionalism of our members, it goes without saying that’s the No. 1 priority for me, and if such comments were made, … to me that’s not acceptable," he added.
