In this one we're talking about clause 4 again. The amendment would replace lines 7 to 18 on page 4 with the following wording:
subsection (5) shall immediately make a return to the provincial court judge who issued the warrant showing the things or documents, if any, seized and the date of execution of the warrant.
It would also replace line 20 on page 4 with the following:
from a person against whom an order has been
That's against whom it's been “made”, obviously.
The idea here is that we know that law enforcement can already apply to conduct searches and seizure without a warrant if there are reasonable grounds to believe that such a thing is necessary. There's no need for anonymous individuals to have this ability pre-emptively. That's the issue.
Again, this requires a bit of a softening from the current position so that both sides of this conversation have some assurances that the process is done fairly.
