What is the impact of a search warrant on privacy rights?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Lucas, 2009 CanLII 43418 (ON SC):
I appreciate that the privacy rights that will be interfered with through the use of this authority are very serious ones. As noted by Sopinka J. in Baron v. Canada (1993), 1993 CanLII 154 (SCC), 78 C.C.C. (3d) 510 (S.C.C.) at p. 530: Physical search of private premises (I mean private in the sense of private property, regardless of whether the public is permitted to enter the premises to do business) is the greatest intrusion of privacy short of a violation of bodily integrity.
