Alberta Court weighs home rights in police bugging case
Edmonton lawyer Robert White urged the Alberta Appeal Court to protect home privacy if Ottawa clarifies electronic bugging rules. He argued the Criminal Code lacks explicit authority for police to enter homes to plant listening devices, risking unconstitutional trespass. Crown prosecutor Bruce Fraser warned a ruling against entry could erode anti crime tools while police rely on taps via telephone company switches.
