Episode Details

New report reveals hundreds of charges dropped due to police Charter violations in Ontario courts over the past decade. Researchers found over one thousand violations, primarily in Toronto, Ottawa, and Peel, York, and Durham regions. In 70% of cases, evidence was excluded, proceedings halted, or sentences reduced, leading to accused individuals walking free and eroding public trust. Top issues include illegal searches, seizures, and delayed access to lawyers, with key evidence often being sidelined. Law professor Sunil Gurmukh calls for stronger monitoring, accountability, and oversight to rebuild confidence and improve safety.
