Covert entry and search proper

Covert entry and search are proper and possible under the Criminal Code.

See today's decision in R. v. Ha, 2009 ONCA 340:

[58]          Section s. 487.01 of the Code can authorize a covert entry and search of private property.  In this case, the general search warrant complied with the conditions set out in both paragraphs (b) and (c) of s. 487.01(1) of the Code.  Accordingly, the trial judge correctly concluded that the issuance of the general search warrant did not violate the appellant's rights under s. 8 of the Charter.
