British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Grewall et al, 2000 BCSC 820 (CanLII):
The existence of reasonable grounds is critical to the balancing of the values of privacy and crime detection. As stated in Hunter v. Southam, supra at pp. 114-5: The state’s interest in detecting and preventing crime begins to prevail over the individual’s interest in being left alone at the point where credibly-based probability replaces suspicion.
