2:00pm- Texts/ Wiretaps and Warrants
Matt Torigian, Waterloo Regional Police Chief Re: The Supreme Court of Canada ruled yesterday that police need more than just an ordinary search warrant to search text messages. They also need a special wiretap order as well. In a 5-2 split decision, the court said that texting is a basic form of conversation and it should fall under the same protection to which private communications are entitled under the criminal code. .
Question: Do you think this makes it tougher for the police? Are you concerned about the police looking through your private conversations?
