Criminal law 2018 ONCA 56

R. v. Le

Given the trial judge’s accepted credibility and factual findings, the Court held that either the police acted within the implied licence or, assuming a technical trespass, the appellant lacked a reasonable territorial privacy interest as a transient guest; the psychological detention occurred when the officer asked about the bag and was supported by reasonable suspicion the appellant was armed; any Charter breach was minor and the s.24(2) balancing supports admission of the gun, drugs and cash; appeal dismissed and convictions upheld.

  • Unlawful entry
  • Reasonable expectation of privacy (s.8)
  • Psychological detention (s.9)
  • Exclusion of evidence (s.24(2))
  • Implied licence doctrine
