Is handcuffing and search of the vehicle a reasonable cause of arrest?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Mangatal, 2009 ABPC 393 (CanLII):
With respect to both the handcuffing and search of the vehicle, I return to R v. Simpson, supra and also at para. 66: ...Similarly, the existence of an articulable cause that justified a brief detention, perhaps to ask the person detained for identification, would not necessarily justify a more intrusive detention complete with physical restraint and a more intensive interrogation.
