Interesting - thanks for sharing. Were those off-duty police officers or ex-military guys? How did you deal with risk of people or other law enforcement seeing guys with guns on street? (Coordination with local police and/or permits?)

Hey matt_gh2,

One of the guys, the tallest guy with the shaved head is an actual police officer, not sure which division but I do think it was something tactical.

We had permits as well as signs on the street, and as per Toronto laws, had papered all near by homes at least 48hrs before with the details of the shoot and what we would be filming so everyone who lived in the area at least knew what was up.

Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe to see when the actual episode entitled "It's Not Uber" comes out!

Howdy, Stranger!
