In this episode, Mike discusses the BC Court of Appeal decision R. v. Wilkinson, 2023 BCCA 3 where officers chased down a man who fled on foot as they drove by in an unmarked police car late at night in a high crime area. But the officers were not responding to a reported crime nor did they have a specific crime in mind when they took up pursuit. Was the reasonable suspicion standard justifying an investigative detention met? If you are a proactive police officer who likes to investigate and prevent crime rather than simply react to citizen reports of it, then you will want to listen to this.
