The Court held that s.160(1) mandates giving a person an opportunity to explain his presence but does not impose a blanket obligation to warn that failure to give a satisfactory explanation will lead to arrest; O'Connor J's statement requiring such a warning was obiter and not a necessary ingredient of a lawful arrest under s.160(1).
