Today’s Lecture

  Criminal Law:
    Police Powers
A Caveat

On Biased Perspectives,


                    or...
Every Perspective
   has a Bias
Today’s bias:

   Critical
  with a chance of
  Leftism
How much power
do the police have?

 Can they   break the law?
The law applies to everybody
          equally,

              but

 Special defences are available
           for police
Criminal Code, 1892; s. 31:

          Police and their agents
    justified in using necessary force
necessary to overcome any force used in
                  resisting
       if not possible less violently
     to execute an arrest or warrant
Criminal Code, 1955; s. 25:

           Police and their agents
     justified in using necessary force
 necessary to overcome any force used in
                   resisting
        if not possible less violently
      to execute an arrest or warrant
Force intended to cause death or grievous
                 bodily harm
Criminal Code, 1994; s. 25:

Anyone required or authorized to enforce
                       law
      justified in using necessary force
  necessary to overcome any force used in
                    resisting
         if not possible less violently
       to execute an arrest or warrant
Force intended to cause death or grievous
                  bodily harm
limited: serious offender fleeing, or escape
                   from jail
A pattern emerges

 Broader justifications
         with
   More limitations
Scope of defences in practice

  By Court: R. v. Finta, suspected war
               criminal
   By Police: RCMP Commissioner
              Zaccardelli
Zaccardelli:
“As police officers we used to be able to do
  things under the common law that were
 acceptable. They weren’t illegal; they were
  accepted in our system as powers and as
 means the police needed to carry out their
              duty in society.”

   Why couldn’t they do these things anymore?
         R. v. Campbell and Shirose
R. v. Campbell and Shirose,
  [1999] 1 S.C.R. 565
           and the

 Reverse Sting Operation
R. v. Campbell and Shirose,
     [1999] 1 S.C.R. 565



SCC: abuse of process by police
Aftermath of Campbell:

reverse sting operation law passed:
CDSA reg SOR/1997-234, s. 16.
police halt investigations involving
             illegal acts
Zaccardelli:
   “Since [Campbell], we can’t do that. We
 haven’t been doing that. This means there
 are criminal organizations that are profiting
 and taking advantage of what’s going on in
society, as Chief Fantino has said. So I can’t
 send my police officer and pretend to be a
  smuggler or pretend to sell or buy illegal
                    goods.”
Parliament’s response:
           Bill C-24
said to be concerned with organized crime
       written in very broad terms
Added sections 25.1 to 25.4 to the Criminal
                   Code
    Broad immunity; Some limits and
               accountability
      Applies to “designated officials”
Designation of 007 status
  Cabinet member can designate officers
  Cabinet member can designate senior
                 officials,
   Designated senior officials can give
        “emergency designations”
Immunity is extended to agents of police –
                like whom?
What illegal acts are justified?
     Essentially all acts and omissions,
Including forcible confinement, kidnapping
        and assault with a weapon
How are justifications limited?
 actions reasonable and proportional in the
                 circumstances
no death or bodily harm, wilful obstruction
  of justice, and conduct violating sexual
          integrity of an individual
Controversy
Objections to limiting scope of immunity to
     exclude death; bodily harm; wilful
obstruction of justice; and conduct violating
      sexual integrity of an individual?

               Solutions proposed:
Public interest groups: narrow immunity defence
     Police groups: eliminate the limitations
So, the Minister wants to designate an officer?
  Or the senior official wants to make an emergency designation?



  Limitations on
  Designations
   Allowance for limits on duration and
  investigations
   No requirement for such limits
   Requirement for existence of authority to
  review acts of designated officers
   Only for officers, not senior officials or emergency
  desig.s
Oversight and
      Accountability
No judicial authorization for designations
Weak requirement: report by officer to
               senior: 25.2
   Not for serious acts under s. 25.1(8)
 Weak notification req. for property
            damage: 25.4(1)
       No compensation for damage
         Annual report: 25.3(1)
     Only for emergency designations
Annual Report of
         Minister
 Only for emergency designations by senior
  officials and approved property damage
             No information about:
    Designations of officers by the Minister
         Justified acts of police agents
            Justified acts of officers
  Exemption from reporting requirement:
If report would compromise investigation, safety,
 a legal proceeding or would be against the public
                      interest

CML2117 Introduction to Law, 2008 - Lecture 23 - Criminal Law and Police Powers

  • 1. Today’s Lecture Criminal Law: Police Powers
  • 2. A Caveat On Biased Perspectives, or...
  • 3. Every Perspective has a Bias
  • 4. Today’s bias: Critical with a chance of Leftism
  • 5. How much power do the police have? Can they break the law?
  • 6. The law applies to everybody equally, but Special defences are available for police
  • 7. Criminal Code, 1892; s. 31: Police and their agents justified in using necessary force necessary to overcome any force used in resisting if not possible less violently to execute an arrest or warrant
  • 8. Criminal Code, 1955; s. 25: Police and their agents justified in using necessary force necessary to overcome any force used in resisting if not possible less violently to execute an arrest or warrant Force intended to cause death or grievous bodily harm
  • 9. Criminal Code, 1994; s. 25: Anyone required or authorized to enforce law justified in using necessary force necessary to overcome any force used in resisting if not possible less violently to execute an arrest or warrant Force intended to cause death or grievous bodily harm limited: serious offender fleeing, or escape from jail
  • 10. A pattern emerges Broader justifications with More limitations
  • 11. Scope of defences in practice By Court: R. v. Finta, suspected war criminal By Police: RCMP Commissioner Zaccardelli
  • 12. Zaccardelli: “As police officers we used to be able to do things under the common law that were acceptable. They weren’t illegal; they were accepted in our system as powers and as means the police needed to carry out their duty in society.” Why couldn’t they do these things anymore? R. v. Campbell and Shirose
  • 13. R. v. Campbell and Shirose, [1999] 1 S.C.R. 565 and the Reverse Sting Operation
  • 14. R. v. Campbell and Shirose, [1999] 1 S.C.R. 565 SCC: abuse of process by police
  • 15. Aftermath of Campbell: reverse sting operation law passed: CDSA reg SOR/1997-234, s. 16. police halt investigations involving illegal acts
  • 16. Zaccardelli: “Since [Campbell], we can’t do that. We haven’t been doing that. This means there are criminal organizations that are profiting and taking advantage of what’s going on in society, as Chief Fantino has said. So I can’t send my police officer and pretend to be a smuggler or pretend to sell or buy illegal goods.”
  • 17. Parliament’s response: Bill C-24 said to be concerned with organized crime written in very broad terms Added sections 25.1 to 25.4 to the Criminal Code Broad immunity; Some limits and accountability Applies to “designated officials”
  • 18. Designation of 007 status Cabinet member can designate officers Cabinet member can designate senior officials, Designated senior officials can give “emergency designations” Immunity is extended to agents of police – like whom?
  • 19. What illegal acts are justified? Essentially all acts and omissions, Including forcible confinement, kidnapping and assault with a weapon
  • 20. How are justifications limited? actions reasonable and proportional in the circumstances no death or bodily harm, wilful obstruction of justice, and conduct violating sexual integrity of an individual
  • 21. Controversy Objections to limiting scope of immunity to exclude death; bodily harm; wilful obstruction of justice; and conduct violating sexual integrity of an individual? Solutions proposed: Public interest groups: narrow immunity defence Police groups: eliminate the limitations
  • 22. So, the Minister wants to designate an officer? Or the senior official wants to make an emergency designation? Limitations on Designations Allowance for limits on duration and investigations No requirement for such limits Requirement for existence of authority to review acts of designated officers Only for officers, not senior officials or emergency desig.s
  • 23. Oversight and Accountability No judicial authorization for designations Weak requirement: report by officer to senior: 25.2 Not for serious acts under s. 25.1(8) Weak notification req. for property damage: 25.4(1) No compensation for damage Annual report: 25.3(1) Only for emergency designations
  • 24. Annual Report of Minister Only for emergency designations by senior officials and approved property damage No information about: Designations of officers by the Minister Justified acts of police agents Justified acts of officers Exemption from reporting requirement: If report would compromise investigation, safety, a legal proceeding or would be against the public interest
  • 25. Next class… • Murder and Defences: Sleepwalking as a case study R. v. Parks, linked on the website
