An iphone would make a great camera then. If you lock it they require a warrant to unlock it.

CBSA and radar detectors
- Thread starter alteregorr
- Start date
I wonder if they can confiscate them until they decide a warrant is required--to prevent evidence from being tampered with?
Also excellent question
When they get a warrant they just call apple and they remote unlock your phone

That is incredibly ****ed up =/
Not even remotely the same.
you can be charged with POSSESSION of a radar detector in Ontario, its $171.00 and includes confiscation of the device. It doesn't have to be hooked up or operational to be seized. Thats why some companies will not ship to an Ontario address.
They are common in the US, but are also illegal to use in a couple of the states.
Some doofus just look for trouble, education is good.

But couldn't you just remotely reset the phone (find my phone), which clears all info?
But he doesn't know there is an actual SD card in the camera... what gives him the right to unlock and open it to find out?
-Jamie M.
Its kinda pointless to have a GoPro without an SD card in it, no?
If a cop saw a nitrous bottle in plain sight does that give them grounds to see if it is pressurized?
Your argument is flawed. Its a camera, recording video onto an Sd card is what it does.
That is ********. A nitrous bottle is prohibited under the HTA itself. No where does the HTA say "cop can take your SD card or recording device" or whatever. Can some lawyer or law student chime in on this? I could've sworn I read somewhere that you cannot confiscate **** unless they are aiding in a CRIME. Speeding is not a crime or we'd all go to jail =P

Speeding is a summary offence, it's still a crime. If they have "reasonable grounds" they can seize the camera, including anything encased within the camera and components of the camera (on the camera at the time). This includes the SD card. Taking only the SD card is really doing you a favour since they're within their rights to search and seizure to take the whole unit. Then good luck getting it back after trial.
What they CANNOT do is access the information stored on the camera at roadside. The process is to seize the item to prevent evidence tampering>acquire a warrant>pull the data and examine it.
At the end of the day you'll be fighting the "reasonable grounds for search and/or seizure" not the act of seizure itself.

Thank you for an informative and useful post. I wonder if there is an easy way around this, it just seems like a camera would do more harm than good if the police see it.
I had a cop follow me into kennedy commons tonight...
"Are those stock pipes?"
"Of course..."
"What are the cameras for?"
"So when people are texting and rear end me I have evidence"
"Ok, have a good night."
lol.

And if;
- the cop sees that
- the cop has grounds to seize the camera/card
- you refuse to turn it over on demand
Be prepared for an arrest for obstruct police an the search that comes with it.
