That's the point, at least how it's explained here. It's not clarified. Masked 'protesters' could get ten years.

If they are part of a riot or unlawful protest.
I guess it really depends on what an unlawful protest is, because I don't know the legal definition of it as it would relate to this Bill. If being part of an unlawful protest is, as the article suggests, an indictable offence, then they are already in violation of section 351 anyway, so the only thing that really changes is the penalty.
Assuming that is correct, is the Bill still giving far to broad of power?
