Today's schedule is ABCD
A Block Legal Studies - Thanks for the talk on Friday about police powers, the use of force and policing in Canada. Since we didn't get to it. today we'll look at what a lawful search (not unreasonable) is and find out what search warrants are, how they are obtained and what your rights are connected to searches. To help I'll have you work in partners on the R. v. Clayton (2007) case on page 156 and on the R. v. Shankar (2007) case on page 159 in the All About Law text (that's the talky part of class, right?)
For Clayton
- Why shouldn’t police be allowed to stop and search anyone that could possibly be guilty of some wrongdoing?
- Should police be allowed to ask questions and detain someone even if they don’t have reasonable and probable grounds to arrest or charge that person? What potential issues arise if police were not able to detain individuals for investigative purposes or ask questions?
- Would or should the result have been different if the 911 caller had been very specific and had identified only one car?
- Would or should the result have been different if the caller had seen marijuana instead of guns?
- Would or should the result have been different if the caller did not give the 911 operator any specific details about the men or their vehicles?
- Why is evidence that is obtained in violation of s. 8 or s. 9 rights sometimes excluded? Should this happen?
For Shankar
- Although the trial judge stated that the extended search was not reasonably necessary and was a section 8 Charter breach, he still admitted the guns into evidence. Why do you think he did this?
- What arguments do you think Shankar could make to support his view that the evidence should not have been admitted pursuant to section 24(2) of the Charter?
- What does “police search incident to arrest” mean and how does “police search incident to arrest” apply in this case? Explain.
- Describe how a search warrant is obtained and used.
- Outline the important exceptions to search laws for illegal drug and gun offences.
- In order to prove that a warrantless search was reasonable, what does the Crown need to show
- In determining whether a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy in a given situation, what considerations would a court take into account?
B Block Criminology - We're in the Learning Commons/Library for you to continue your work on either your multiple murder blog post or your shoplifting poster if you're going digital (rather than analogue) using Canva. Remember, You work for the Retail Council of Canada and have been hired to create a poster campaign about shoplifting. The poster campaign has two purposes:
- To help employees identify people who are shoplifting and
- To explain how to reduce shoplifting in stores (target hardening and target removal strategies)
Look at the bullet points on page 228-229 in the Criminology text for help. Here are some further ideas and points.....
Spot the Shoplifter: Unfortunately, there is no typical profile of a shoplifter. Thieves come in all ages, races and from various backgrounds. However, there are some signs that should signal a red flag for retailers. While the following characteristics don't necessarily mean guilt, retailers should keep a close eye on shoppers who exhibit the following:
- Spends more time watching the cashier or sales clerk than actually shopping.
- Wears bulky, heavy clothing during warm weather or coats when unnecessary.
- Walks with short or unnatural steps, which may indicate that they are concealing lifted items.
- Takes several items into dressing room and only leaves with one item.
- Seems nervous and possibly picks up random items with no interest.
- Frequently enters store and never makes a purchase.
- Enters dressing room or rest rooms with merchandise and exits with none.
- Large group entering the store at one time, especially juveniles. A member of the group causes a disturbance to distract sales staff.

C Block Human Geography - Today, we'll look at housing (looking at folk housing vs popular housing). We'll watch the video on Toraja village in Indonesia and then we'll talk about feng shui and popular housing locally...The Comox Box.
During the 1970s, affordability became a major factor in the home buying process. To help make housing more affordable, builders reduced lot sizes and increased the density of developments. To appeal to first-time buyers and stimulate the housing market, CMHC (then Central, now Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) introduced the Assisted Home Ownership Program (AHOP) in 1971, to help low-income people attain home ownership. This meant that the average lot size in "newer" (1970's) Comox and Courtenay developments was reduced to 0.19 acre and the house size was increased to about 1800 square feet.
You'll have some questions to work on for me
D Block Physical Geography - Today we're going to start our new unit on gradation. We've looked at the process of building up the land through tectonics and energy from below. Now we'll focus on breaking down the surface of the Earth and today we cover "geomorphology". We'll look at some slopes on Google Earth. The United States Geological Survey has a good web page on Landslides here and the Atlas of Canada has a good site on Landslides in Canada.
