Search and Seizure offers a comprehensive resource on section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a narrative format accessible to general readers, with close to exhaustive coverage for lawyers and judges. It deals with all aspects of section 8, including a “reasonable expectation of privacy,” the many sources in law authorizing a search or seizure, when such laws are reasonable under the Charter, and when a search or seizure is conducted in a reasonable manner. Authors Robert Diab and Chris Hunt also include a detailed account of how warrants are obtained and the law on executing them, how to challenge the validity of a search or seizure, and remedies for a breach of section 8. Its concision, accessibility, and scope make this an ideal book for students and jurists alike.
