In this episode, Mike discusses the Supreme Court of Canada reasoning in R. v. Ali, 2022 SCC 1 and the standard required to justify a strip search incidental to an arrest.
"Where a strip search is conducted as an incident to a person’s lawful arrest, there must be reasonable and probable grounds justifying the strip search, in addition to reasonable and probable grounds justifying the arrest. These grounds are met for the strip search where there is some evidence suggesting the possibility of concealment of weapons or other evidence related to the reason for the arrest."
