The decisions reveal pervasive and systemic failures by many police services with respect to our fundamental rights.

Key Points: 
  • The decisions reveal pervasive and systemic failures by many police services with respect to our fundamental rights.
  • The 600 cases are a huge underestimation of just how frequently police are violating Canadians’ Charter rights.
  • Race is often not mentioned in criminal cases when judges found officers violated the Charter rights of accused.

Identifying Charter violations

    • We are now beginning the process of identifying the race of victims of Charter violations.
    • Police violations of the Charter matter.
    • Charter violations can also result in evidence being excluded from trials and in the accused walking free.
    • Charter violations can be found with a few keystrokes and some sifting and sorting.

Police transparency and accountability

    • Court decisions with Charter violations should be part of an early intervention system to alert supervisors and police leadership about problematic officers, units and divisions.
    • Canadian police services would not be the first to do so.
    • In 2009, a York Regional Police officer pulled over two Hispanic men in a rental van.
    • York Regional Police appear to be aware of the R v. Gonzales and R v. Bhagiratti decisions and respect them.
    • It may take legislative change for there to be transparency about individual officer discipline, but these other questions need to be asked and answered publicly.
    • If police are serious about respecting our fundamental rights and ensuring public safety, they should take action.

Key Points: 
  • The full text of the letter submitted to Vancouver School Board members, dated May 17, 2022, is enclosed below.
  • Dear Vancouver School Board Members,
    It has come to the attention of the BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) and the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) that the Vancouver School Board (VSB) has adopted policies that could be used to limit the freedom of expression rightfully enjoyed by student journalists in Canada.
  • Both of our associations are concerned with these new policies which require that all student clubs (including school newspapers) be approved by the school principal.
  • The BCCLA and CAJ are nevertheless concerned that these policies could be used by the VSB to unilaterally censor student journalists.
