In this episode, Mike discusses the Alberta Court of Appeal decision R. v. Bidlock-Hawkins, 2022 ABCA 201 where, during a Charter voir dire, a trial judge concluded the police had used excessive force and then had to decide an appropriate remedy under s. 24 of the Charter. This episode may help you understand how s. 25 of the Criminal Code applies to your conduct in a criminal trial in which you are not a defendant but a Crown witness.
