In this episode, Mike discusses the Ontario Court of Appeal decision R. v. Ngo, 2025 ONCA 685 where police conducted a no-knock entry when executing a search warrant? Was departing from the knock-and-announce rule justified in the circumstances? Or did police action render the manner of search unreasonable?
Lower court decision (R. v. Ngo, 2022 ONSC 3700)
Sentencing decision (R. v. Ngo, 2023 ONSC 282)
