Content Knowledge Questions (name, explain, understand) What are the rights of an accused during arrest? Being Detained I.e. being stopped for questioning Should be a temporary ‘stage’- should lead to arrest or being let go Illegal detention may be resisted with reasonable force Being Arrested  Charter of Rights and Freedoms Charter of Rights and Freedoms  Informed of reason for arrest  Informed of right of lawyer, including duty counsel/legal aid  60% gave statements and 70% give written statements before consultation with lawyer. Why?  Accused must be of sound mind and be able to understand the rights Accused may refuse to Be in a line up Submit to polygraph test Submit blood, urine or breath samples (except in impaired driving) Submit DNA without a warrant Miranda Rights in Canada? "You are under arrest for _________ (charge), do you understand? You have the right to retain and instruct counsel without delay. We will provide you with a toll-free telephone lawyer referral service, if you do not have your own lawyer. Anything you say can be used in court as evidence. Do you understand? Would you like to speak to a lawyer?" (See: R. v. Hebert [1990] 2 S.C.R. 151)R. v. Hebert “While Section 7 of the Charter in effect confirms the right to remain silent, Canadian law does not entitle the criminal suspect to have counsel present during the course of an interrogation. Once a suspect has asserted their right to counsel, the police are obliged to hold off in attempting to obtain evidence until the suspect has had a reasonable opportunity to contact legal counsel, however suspects do not have the right to have counsel present during the questioning. Also, in Canada even if the suspect emphatically asserts his decision to remain silent, the police may continue to interrogate him. “

What are the rights of the police during an arrest? Upon arrest: Search to look for evidence (related) Search to look for items for escape or harm May take away possessions Take to police station May :  Use as much force as is necessary to prevent escape  Use deadly force if: harm/death to others, flees to escape arrest, no alternative means of preventing escape Content Knowledge Questions (name, explain, understand)
