Not to worry America, the RCMP chose to use neat technology but forgot that sometimes (only sometimes for them) there is a Charter of Rights to be followed. Of course, the lawyers for the accused know this very well and pushed the police to expose their methods, which were committed without a warrant.
Another few million flushed down the toilet and another 11 hardened, organized criminals to terrorise Canada and America. This happened under Harpers watch, not surprising since he never had an issue with White Collar crime in Canada.
Final 11 accused in massive Montreal Mob bust have charges stayed after defence’s disclosure request
MONTREAL — The last 11 people accused in a massive Quebec Mob bust dubbed Project Clemenza saw the charges against them stayed Monday at the request of the prosecution.
A spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada said a stay of proceedings was a discretionary decision by the Crown and was the only possible move.
“The request for disclosure from the defence raised very complex issues and, despite all the efforts, the prosecution was not in a position to meet its disclosure obligations,” the agency said in an email.
The accused were among those charged in a major police operation targeting organized crime between 2014 and 2016 that led to dozens of arrests.
Prosecutor Andre Albert Morin told reporters the Crown asked for the stay after speaking to investigators in the RCMP-led case and concluding it wouldn’t be able to provide answers to pointed technical questions from the defence.
At the time of the first wave of arrests, the RCMP proudly boasted about an investigative tactic that saw more than one million private PIN to PIN BlackBerry messages intercepted between 2010 and 2012 and analyzed.
