SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment contains amendments to the Criminal Code that
would enable peace officers to obtain judicial authorization to enter a
dwelling-house to arrest or apprehend a person and would clarify that
judicial authorization is not required in exigent circumstances or where
federal or provincial law or the common law otherwise provides for a
right of entry. This enactment would also amend the Interpretation Act
to provide powers similar to those of judges or justices under the
Criminal Code to persons issuing warrants of arrest or apprehension
under other Acts of Parliament.
