Random use of police sniffer dogs breaches charter: top court
This is a little bit surprising to me coming from Canada where we usually like to limit civil rights: “No doubt ordinary businessmen and businesswomen riding along on public transit or going up and down on elevators in office towers would be outraged at any suggestion that the contents of their briefcases could randomly be inspected by the police without ‘reasonable suspicion’ of illegality,” the court wrote.” This is quote is in stark contrast to the NYC Subway, where any bag is subject to search.
