In this episode, Mike discusses the case law classic R. v. Baddock, 2008 BCCA 48where a police officer, acting on a tip about a dial-a-doper, called a drug line and arranged for a meet. When a car arrived at a pre-arranged location but left within minutes, the officer suspected it was the drug dealer's car and pulled it over. Listen to find out what the officer did next to elevate his suspicion to what he believed were the grounds needed for an arrest. Did the judge agree with the officer? And what did the Court of Appeal think about all of this? Perhaps you may find this officer's tactic useful in your next drug investigation.
