R. v. Le – The Supreme Court of Canada has decided that when police officers entered a private back yard without permission just to see what’s going on and arrest a person in that backyard for possession of firearms, cocaine and cash, that the arrest and detention was illegal and so egregious that they excluded from evidence the items seized by police. This means that you can enjoy your backyard BBQ this summer without police intervention. You might have thought that was always the case but apparently, police didn’t.
