The Investigator’s Legal Handbook is a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand guide to the law for all those involved in Canadian law enforcement. The book is full of practical answers to the legal problems faced every day by investigators. It dispels myths, clears up confusion, and logically guides investigators of all types of criminal or regulatory offences through the pre- and post-charge legal aspects of their jobs. Illustrations, checklists, and question-and-answer dialogues between investigators and prosecutors appear throughout the text. Issues faced by investigators that are explored throughout the book include: • Proper search and seizure procedures that ensure evidence will not be thrown out. • Choosing the right warrant and ensuring that it is bullet proof. • Understanding privacy interests and ensuring that surveillance techniques chosen do not violate them. • Understand rights and process surrounding detaining, arresting or releasing a suspect. • Passing off the case to the prosecution and how to work with them before, during, and after the trial. The focus is on legal principles of good investigative practice that will stand the test of time and maximize positive outcomes at all stages of a case. |
