What is the impact on privacy and security of the young person on a request to obtain a blood sample from the accused?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. J.S., 2003 BCPC 442 (CanLII):
Counsel for the accused has taken no position on this request and therefore there was no evidence before me that the impact on the young person's privacy and security of the person would be grossly disproportionate to the public interests in the protection of society and the proper administration of justice as required by the above noted section of the Criminal Code. Relying also on Regina v. K.I.D. (supra), the taking of a sample or samples is hereby authorized. SHOULD THERE BE A MANDATORY WEAPONS PROHIBITION?
