RCMP tried to get photojournalist Amber Bracken charged and detained without bail, documents show

September 30, 2025

The RCMP wanted a well-known photojournalist kept in custody for months or more after Mounties alleged she assaulted a sheriff following her high-profile arrest at the 2021 Wet’suwet’en pipeline standoff.

Documents filed with the B.C. Supreme Court as part of a civil suit launched by photographer Amber Bracken and The Narwhal media outlet against the RCMP showed how the Mounties tried – and quickly failed – to get Ms. Bracken charged and detained without bail for an incident related to her release from three nights in jail.
