In this episode, Mike discusses dynamic entries and the legal standard for deviating from the long standing common law rule of "knock and announce" by looking at two recent Ontario Superior Court decisions, R. v. Russell, 2024 ONSC 529 (watch the police entry here) and R. v. Harper, 2024 ONSC 925. Learn about the origins of the rule and how the Supreme Court of Canada explained it more than a decade ago. Would you be prepared to justify an unannounced hard entry should you need to? Or would you be in the same position as the officers in the cases discussed?
