On 4 November 2016, the prosecuting attorney dismissed all charges against filmmakers Lindsey Grayzel and Carl Davis. They were charged with filming activist Ken Ward as he engaged in direct action to shut down the Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

A statement from Lindsey Grayzel's lawyer said, “Being jailed, posting bail, obtaining attorneys, appearing in court, and living under the threat of prison have posed an unreasonable burden to her freedoms and have created a chilling effect for other filmmakers and reporters considering covering the important topics of climate change and political dissent.”
