Evidence contradicting the person's answer to plans for entering the country - typically people coming to 'vacation' and actually plan to work, find work, etc.
I thought that read that 38% of inspections resulted in finding violations, not computer seizures.
What, because of the attorney/client privilege thing? I think he has a very valid point, considering border services have acknowledged their agents are supposed to avoid anything that may infringe on it. In practice though, I highly doubt they do any such thing.
Of course they won't.They are looking for money transfers,dealings with criminals or other illegal issues.They don't care about his attorney/client dealings.
Doesn’t sound like it. It seems like the CBSA just randomly demanded to see his electronic devices.
I get his fight but I think it had more to do with his idea of principles over actual concern for clients info.
They are fishing that's all, it's a well known fact that police forces in Canada are wrong 70% of the time, and CBSA by the looks of it is wrong 62% of the time.
Primarily because the issues have not been adjudicated up to the Supreme Court of Canada, and so the heavy arm of the state comes crashing down; they will do whatever they think they can get away with. And so, it takes people like the lawyer involved in this situation to make a "test case" out of it. Negative characterizations of the man aside, he is doing all of us a favor if he continues to fight.
Sounds like too much work - you are better off getting a cheap unlocked phone and a US roaming sim card.
I would expect that any information seized from a lawyer's computer that is privileged would never be allowed into court and any investigation based on that info would also be tossed (or at least that's what Law And Order has taught me.
