In this episode, Mike discusses the Court of Quebec decision R. v. Hennigar, 2024 QCCQ 4849 where police entered an apartment on the invite of a co-habitant to recover a loaded pistol she had found while cleaning a closet. Could the co-resident validly consent to the police entry in the accused's absence? Could the police conduct also be justified as a safety search? Or was a warrant required? Listen for the answers to these and other questions as they may help inform your future decision making.
