In this episode, Mike discusses the Manitoba Court of Appeal decision R. v. Miller, 2025 MBCA 48 where police — acting on an informer’s tip — arrested a man after stopping a taxi he was riding in. When the man was searched, police found cash, meth and two cellphones. Did the police sufficiently CORROBORATE the information? Was it enough for the what, when and where of the tip to be confirmed but not the criminal aspect related to it? Or should the police have done more investigation before making the arrest?
