Criminal Lawyers: What is Hearsay?
Hearsay refers to a statement or information that someone heard from another person, rather than directly experiencing, or observing it themselves. In other words, hearsay is second-hand information that is not based on the personal knowledge or observation of the person conveying it. Hearsay evidence is generally not admissible in court, as it is often unreliable and can be easily manipulated or distorted as it passes from one person to another. However, there are some exceptions and circumstances where hearsay evidence may be allowed.

Charter Rights: Strip Searches
A strip search is a type of search in which a person is required to remove some or all their clothing so that the police can inspect their body and clothing for evidence. A strip search is not the same as a pat-down search, which is a less invasive type of search that does not require a person to remove any clothing.
