In this episode, Mike discusses the Ontario Court of Appeal decision R. v. Williams, 2022 ONCA 596 where a panel of three  judges had to determine whether the arrest of the accused, prompted by informer information, was based on reasonable grounds. Listen for yourself and see how the Appeal Court applied the 3 C's to assessing the RELIABILITY of the information provided:

  1. Was the information provided by the informer COMPELLING?
  2. Was the informer  CREDIBLE?
  3. Was the information CORROBORATED by police investigation prior to making the decision to conduct the arrest/search?
