In this episode, Mike discusses the Ontario Court of Appeal decision R. v. Bond, 2021 ONCA 730 where a police officer resubmitted a search warrant application using the same information even though the warrant had already been rejected by a different justice. Did this amount to impermissible “judge-shopping” or was it a legitimate exercise? You might be surprised by the result.
