Introduction
Property can be seized and then detain by police under the Code in several ways.
Detention can occur as:
- Restraint of Terrorism-related Property (83.08)
- Proceeds of Crime (462.33)
- Restraint of Offence-related Property (490.8)
- Subject of Search Warrant or Evidence of a Crime (490)
- Firearms (117.02, 117.03, 117.04, 117.05)
For any warrantless seizure of property, the burden is upon the Crown to prove that it did not violate s. 8 of the Charter. To put the burden on the accused "ignores the reality that the Crown is in the best position to know how and why the seizure took place"[1]
Where the police do not seize property and merely make observations, they may still give evidence regarding the items and are not violating the "best evidence rule."[2]
