Protesters at the Ottawa trucker protest confronted police officers giving out tickets on Friday.
Demonstrators have occupied the city near Canadian Parliament, protesting against COVID-19 mandates.
This comes as Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency.
The trucker protest, now entering its third week, began over a vaccinate-or-quarantine mandate for cross-border drivers, but its scope has expanded to include a more generalized opposition to government rules set-up to control the spread of the virus over the past two years.
Truck drivers have occupied the Canadian capital of Ottawa and now are blocking the Ambassador Bridge, the busiest international land border crossing in North America and a critical lifeline for the automotive industry, between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Mich.
Police appeared to be taking information on the trucks blocking roads across from parliament, and handing out citations to their drivers.
