British Police State Kicks Into High Gear

[mrmod]

The Canadian courts are very strict when it comes to searches. Police searches should not violate the Charter of Rights protections in the Canadian constitution. Some examples:

A fellow was spotted at a Greyhound bus station by a drug sniffing police dog, and the police searched him on the spot and found a large amount of drugs on him. The court threw out the case, since the search was illegal.

Police did a drug raid on a marijuana grow-op house in British Columbia. They smashed in the door, and stormed into the home. The court threw out the case, since the police did not knock on the door or ring the doorbell first, while waiting a reasonable time for the folks in the house to answer the door.

And that's acceptable according to Candadian law ?

Since I am for the legalization of marijuana the case has a touch of humour. But for example heroine... Is this tolerated?
