Are they TRYING to turn me into a conspiracy theorist?

So here's a problem:

Health cards not considered official ID

Anyone attempting to enter the security perimeter around the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the intimidating fence that wraps along Wellington Street and down to Lakeshore Boulevard, will be required to show two pieces of identification.

But Wendy Drummond, of the Integrated Security Unit, said health cards will not be accepted. “They are not considered to be valid ID,” she said. Anyone attempting to enter the zone, even with their summit-issued pass, will have to provide a driver’s licence or passport.

But...

Within those areas, police can demand identification from anyone coming within five metres of the fence perimeter and search them. If they refuse, they face arrest. Anyone convicted under the regulation could also face up to two months in jail or a $500 maximum fine.

It's very easy to see how not having a driver's licence or a passport could be readily interpreted by law enforcement as refusing to show identification. The thing is, you know who doesn't have driver's licences? People who can't or don't drive. This includes people who can't afford to drive (and driving is a luxury in, you know, downtown Toronto!) and people who have medical conditions or disabilities that prevent them from driving, as well as people like me who just don't need to drive. You know who doesn't have a passport? People who haven't traveled abroad recently and have no plans to do so in the immediate future. This includes poor people who can't afford to travel, as well as people of all varieties who just, for whatever reason, haven't planned any trips abroad since their last passport expired. I'm sure you know all kinds of respectable people who had a period in their life during which they ended up not traveling abroad, for whatever reason.

At this point, you're probably thinking "So stop whining and get ID!" But the announcement that health cards wouldn't be accepted was on June 16. You can't get ID in 10 days. You could get a temporary driver's licence (if you don't have any medical conditions precluding it), but the photo ID wouldn't arrive in the mail until after the G20 is over.

My inner conspiracy theorist thinks they've just written themselves carte blanche to arrest any marginalized people in the area. My inner non-conspiracy-theorist is having trouble coming up with another reasonable explanation
