Study Notes

Hybrid Offence Trials

A person charged with a hybrid offence, where the Crown chooses to proceed by way of summary conviction, has multiple trial options.
One option is a trial in the Ontario Court of Justice.
Alternatively, they may have their trial in Superior Court, with the option to proceed with or without a jury.

Constitutional Protection from Unreasonable Search

Constitutionally, protection from unreasonable search applies to an invasion of one's reasonable expectation of privacy
This applies specifically to invasions by the state, rather than by anyone
The protection is based on the idea of a "reasonable expectation of privacy" rather than just any expectation of privacy
