Back to the 70's, school locker sniffer searches!



Random use of police sniffer dogs breaches charter:

The use of drug-sniffing police dogs in the random search of a southwestern Ontario school and a Calgary bus terminal was unconstitutional, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Friday. In a 6-3 decision, the top court ruled that the actions breached Section 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which covers what constitutes reasonable search and seizure.

So, to all my '70's friends from high school who were nabbed by the random sniffer dogs and still carry records, go get 'em cleared folks. They used to walk the halls with those dogs at least once a month if not more, out of the knowledge that they knew those long haired, hippie, freaks were smoking that marijuana!

Peace!
