Document Summary
You are supposed to be put before a judge within 24 hours once detained. Strict construction: approach when reading the criminal code, the law has to be read very narrowly and literally, catch little conduct as possible, not supposed to be broadly applied. Modern crime and circumstances directed parliament to describe crimes to be more broadly worded. I. e. sexual assault: rape had inferences that it had to be violent, etc, shifted to sexual assault". Laws can change to serve the current social circumstances. Don"t have suspect so they aren"t person across the street. Technique of interrogation to cough up info that may or may not be true. Dude finally confessed: dude from forensics dept. shows that it wasn"t actually him (dna, re-write confession to match what he said. 2 types of crimes: summary (less serious) indictable disclosure, crown has to disclose everything they have joints of mission they join up to agree on defences.
