The Ontario Ombudsman will investigate the introduction of a regulation that gave police broad powers to search and arrest people within Toronto's G20 summit perimeter.

Andre Marin said Friday in a news release his investigation will probe "the origin and subsequent communication of the controversial security regulation passed by the province prior to the June 26-27 G20 summit."

The temporary powers regulation, which was published in the official Ontario Gazette last Saturday, five days after it lapsed, became publicly known when a man was arrested two days before the summit for refusing to provide ID to police while exploring the fence around the G20 "red zone."

I live in downtown Toronto and from my small balcony  I have a clear view of Yonge St., the commercial artery that was turned into Protest Central during the G20 weekend.

From my building on Saturday I was able to witness the destruction that unfolded as an out-of-control mob started smashing the windows of the neighbourhood Starbucks and Tim Hortons as a protest against the G20 Summit in Toronto.

Throughout the protest marches, the violence on Saturday and the police crackdown on Sunday, the main theme that I kept returning to was how virtual all of these events were.

It seemed that everyone had a camera or video camera. When I looked up "G20 Toronto" on Flickr, it listed more than 26,000 photos. YouTube lists more than 5,000 videos under the same search listing.

Saturday night, a friend and I walked around the downtown. We were able to get the latest updates on what was happening and where it was happening via his Twitter account on his iPhone.

While walking around following the latest tweet I wondered how mainstream media will fit into this social networking world. Will there be a time when people choose to watch events like the G20 through these types of sites instead of turning on their TV?
