What is the test for arrest of an applicant and seizure and search of a paper bag, based in part on information from a confidential informant?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Dhillon, 2009 CanLII 72040 (ON SC):
As both counsel argue, the arrest of the applicant and the seizure and search of the paper bag, based in part on information from a confidential informant requires a consideration of three criteria: whether or not 1) the information was compelling, 2) the source was credible and 3) the information was corroborated by the police in advance. See Debot v. The Queen, (1998), 1989 CanLII 13 (SCC), 52 C.C.C. (3d) 193 (S.C.C.).
