In this episode, Mike discusses the BC Court of Appeal decision R. v. Fong, 2023 BCCA 196 where a police officer authorized the arrest of a man believed to be a dial-a-doper. Did the facts as found by the trial judge meet the legal threshold of reasonable grounds? Was the officer's SUBJECTIVE belief OBJECTIVELY reasonable? Listen and judge for yourself.
