What is Section 8 of the Charter

 The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects constitutional rights in Canada. Section 8 of the Charter protects people against unreasonable searches and seizures by police, and thus, violations of their privacy. The purpose of section 8 is to balance people’s right to be left alone with the government's desire to enforce the law.

A section 8 violation will only be found where a search or seizure conducted by police is unreasonable. An experienced Edmonton criminal lawyer can help you understand whether you have been subject to an unreasonable search or seizure.
