CAN YOU TELL THE COPS TO GET OFF YOUR PROPERTY IN CANADA?

[@Quoxozist]

I like that you acknowledge that, if the cop in question decides to make your life hard and refuses to leave/forces his way in without any sort of exigent circumstance or justification, there's actually NOTHING you can do about it, and the best thing to do is remain polite and keep asking him to leave and don't make him mad...because, you know, he'll probably assault you and arrest you because you didn't let him break the law and invade your property for no reason. The police are not your friends

[@eugeniorey4565]

You can call the police police, the RCMP. They do have the authority to arrest police officers, and they do, on occasion. Have their local phone number in your phone, dialling 911 won't get you the Mounties, just more local dipshit cops. After calling them, and describing how you are under duress, call the duty Sgt at their prescient. Describe your concerns and request his presence immediately to "take control of these two jerks". Mention the RCMP have dispatched a unit to you. The local police Sgt now knows he will be questioned about what conduct is acceptable by his officers.... The RCMP have a reputation of being absolute dicks with other police officers. They are instilled with the belief that they must always present as near perfect as possible as they, by virtue of moral superiority granted to them for having shinny shoes, for example. I've heard stories of officers reporting other officers for not shaving, for an unironed uniform, for taking a personal call during work hours. That's what "maintain the right" looks like. Everyone hates them and they do certainly hate each other. And they do despise bad cops

I've told RCMP to leave me alone at home numerous times in different places I have lived at. The real problem is where they insist on the basis of exigent circumstances by claiming a (bogus) phone call about an emergency happening inside of your home. They did this to me a few months ago in the middle of the night and threatened to charge me with obstruction if I refused to open the door. They claimed that "common law" gave them the right to do so. I had little choice but to comply while they pointlessly handcuffed me and raided my closets looking for an alleged mass shooting in my apartment. It was scary and the only thing that really saved me was that I made it clear that I had multiple cameras recording the entire ordeal. They have so far refused to comply with my ATIP on this incident as well. Obviously they were trampling my rights but the reality is that the burden gets placed on you to hire a legal team and fight them in court to get obstruction charges dropped, and they know if you can afford it or not.

And I'm not a criminal, simply a spectator caught up in their actions. There's an infestation of corruption and lack of accountability, which in turn undermines the public trust. Until this is addressed, there's no "most" of them being honest. When you're in a gang, you're guilty by association. They are a gang.

I told them “you’ve been called to a domestic dispute, so I assume you have the right of entry to the domicile.” They were straight up and said “no, actually, we don’t hear any evidence of a domestic dispute so we’ll take your word for it” and backed off down to the public sidewalk.

A cop pulls onto my driveway. I exit my house and ask if I can help. They say no. I ask what they want. They say they are investigating a theft. I ask if I can help. He says no. I ask him to move his car. He says no I am conducting an investigation. I said I smell smoke,I’m going inside to phone the fire department and I expect your car will NOT impede access for the fire truck. The car left less than 1minute later! BYE!

One day my ex got a call from back home when her grandmother past away and since she was very close to her grandma she was balling her eyes out, 15 minutes later that the 6 cops came pushing through my door and started searching in every room and she kept telling them that she just got a call and that her grandma passed away and she was said about that and made her very emotional. They were asking her are you sure you are not getting beat from you bf and since she did not have a mark on her and she still told them how they feel when their loved ones pass away if they don’t feel bad about it but this is the type of crap you have to deal with the Montreal cops which we also call the pigs since some of them have no idea of what body hygiene is.

[@robertcampbell6447]

What you said is pretty accurate. I would have added the most common occurrence of a 911 call. If the police receive a 911 call, they WILL, depending on the call, enter and clear the residence and have every right to do so. Just because the homeowner says everyone is fine, does not mean that police will leave, nor should they. They will confirm for themselves, and, it is perfectly legal. The other thing that should be mentioned is that just because the homeowner thinks they are acting within their rights, doesn't mean they are. This mistake can cause very serious problems. The best course of action is to comply, keep asking police to leave, and file the complaint after. This isn't, necessarily an "unscrupulous" officer, it could be a mistaken officer or there are circumstance of which the homeowner is unaware. A cop acting in "good faith" can and will make mistakes. It doesn't make them "unscrupulous" or "unethical"

Other related question around that from movies, is for example opening the door to the police, not opening the door to the police, or closing the door to the police... What if you allowed the police in the entry way for example (let say it -50degree outside and you don't want to leave the door open), and they don't want to leave after that... I want to be courteous, but when I realized the police is trying to pin something on you rather than asking for my help is where I have an issue with. But it seem I HAVE to act all the time as if the cop are in bad faith else I put myself in potential arm way.

[@ThatGuy182545]

Follow up question, and you may not have a straight answer for this one: The liberal government recently passed a law that allows the police to perform a sobriety test on you up to two hours after you drive. Suppose the cops show up on my doorstep two hours after seeing me drive onto my property? Do I even need to answer my door? Can I tell them to leave?

[@ryanbrightman2557]

It's called a Mandatory Breath Demand, and it has to be done roadside when care and control of the conveyance can be proven. Without care and control, there is nothing to be done

This happened to a friend of mine (in the corrupt province of Quebec) Cops showed up without actually stating why and wanted to search his property.He asked what if i refuse without a warrant. They said "if we have to get a warrant will then break down you door and you will be responsible for any damages incured". since he had nothing to hide and he was pressured to let them in he did so. Only to find out that the actually wanted to check and see if his legally own guns were stored and locked away correctly which of course they always are.Ever since COVID cops can go in any resident without a warrant as explained by the poilce.

[@kaoskronostyche9939]

CAN YOU TELL THE COPS TO GET OFF YOUR PROPERTY IN CANADA? Sure you can ... if you want to be shot to death. A wellness check in Ontario resulted in the Gestapo climbing up several stories to shoot an old man through the window because he was watching TV with a "deadly weapon" in his hand - a remote control. I was the victim of a wellness check. An EMS team showed up with a Gestapo officer and the officer had his hand hovering over his sidearm just aching to shoot me in the face so he could get his two year paid vacation as his reward for keeping the community safe from another old man. Needless to say i did not open the door. The cop was too fat and lazy to climb up to my balcony and shoot me to death. Lucky me.

Stop using the word Gestapo. Canadian police have nothing in common with nazi secret police hunting jews. Your embellishment is the equivalent to a hypochondriac. Real people suffered the pursuit of the Gestapo, your exaggeration spits on the hardship of those who actually had to endure this. Gestapo does not equate to "Cops I don't like." If they were honestly Gestapo, there would be no wellness check, and if they caught wind of your criticism, you would be dead or in prison.

I would add a nuance here. A municipal inspector working for a city that has a by-law giving them the right to access a private property to execute work related tasks can acces your property (outdoors) even if you don't want them to. If the by-law states so, a fine can even be given to a property owner who refused access to an inspector. Case law proved this to be correct in a couple instances where the judges ruled that, this does in fact step on the right to privacy but permitting people to refuse access to an inspector would make their jobs almost impossible to accomplish and there might as well be no city by-laws

[@dt6822]

This is actually terrible advice. In Canada, police use the CPIC and PRIME information systems, as well ECRI, Rigel and other software tools for records, profiling, and intel gathering. Every interaction with the police is recorded and coded. This information is then encrypted and decrypted on each login to terminal. A person who calls the police would be a SOC: source of complaint, let's say. A person who is investigated is an SUS, a suspect. Even if the cops get off your property, and you get coded in the police systems as belligerent, as potentially violent, as a suspect in a crime, the amount of inconvenience this will cause you and the number of doors it will close is too innumerable to mention. From your volunteer clearance papers to volunteer with kids soccer, to your passport application, to any kind of a security clearance you're applying for for any level of government job, never mind an application for a firearms license, or a clearance to adopt a child or be a foster parent. Every time you drive your car, and happen to have a cop behind you, you can guarantee that you will be endlessly pulled over for the most minor of violations. And thst crim check you have to do for your job? Well, good luck with that. Those documents arent actual crim checks. They check for "police files." Not convinctions. So i would say that this is terrible advice. If you are not guilty of anything, then I highly recommend you do not become belligerent and cooperate with the police. If you are in a trusted position of employment, if you are a lawyer, a teacher, a nurse, a doctor, a social worker, or anything like that, and you behave disrespectfully, belligerently, or In a way unbecoming of your profession, The cops almost certainly know what you do, because you would have had to take some kind of a document to the police to verify you don't have a criminal record + they could very well notify your professional organization and you could face disciplinary penalties or lose your job. Also, everything he told you is actually incorrect with respect to local government or inspections that carry less stigma. Although the Charter provides for right to be free from unreasonable searche and seizure, the courts have interpreted this to mean In the context of criminal investigations or matters that carry stigma such as those conducted by the police. But with respect to such inspections as might be conducted by a bylaw enforcement officer, for example, or a business license inspector, or another person employed on behalf of a local government, they are permitted to do warrantless inspections, and the courts have found that such inspections are permitted, because they do not carry stigma, and it would be unreasonable to impose on local governments the requirement to either obtain, consent or seek a warrant given the numbers of inspections they have to conduct to fulfill the purpose of local governments, which involves inspections of new buildings, enforcement of community standard bylaws and so on. While you can certainly tell the bylaw officer to get off your property, they aren't in fact in violation of being on your property without a warrant and without your permission. The police, depending on what they are there for, might be in violation of trespassing. However, the police are also permitted to act in a capacity on behalf of a city government, which leads to a strange situation where if the cop is there enforcing bylaws, he's probably better off to be on your property than criminal law. This is something akin to the police entering your home on a noise complaint. A noise complaint is a bylaw violation. They may enter your suite and ask to speak to you because they've received complaints from neighbors. But should they encounter the evidence of a criminal act, such as for example drugs left open on a table, they either cannot act on it, or they need to go back and request a warrant and then return. While a criminal charge, let alone a conviction, is relatively rare in Canada, + while penalties for such are often quite minor, there has evolved as a result, an entire parallel system of information gathering and sharing by police and law enforcement agencies that effectively create a second tier punishment to people for crimes. They may not have even committed on account of their behavior or conduct in dealing with police officers or depending on what they are investigated for. It is widely practiced by the police that just because they didn't get enough evidence to convict you or charge. You doesn't mean you're not guilty, and therefore for all sorts of things in your life, you may not have a criminal record, but you may still be scheduled in all sorts of undesirable ways And ways that impact on your life. This doesn't extend only to the police. There is two other agencies that monitor all of your activities, including all of your surfing activities online, and those are Equifax and transunion. In most cases, they have parallel systems that you can't even access that profile you in all sorts of ways. The only way for people to ever understand something is wrong is when they go to open a bank account and realize that even a credit union won't give them a bank account. Now. Consider this. You live in a democracy. And yet you can't even rent an apartment without the okay of an American credit score Intel reporting corporate entity. Finally, Google and Facebook and Microsoft and Amazon and a whole number of other companies continuously collect data about you and sell that data to corporate or other agencies including foreign governments.

He then got a gang of patrons to attack me and take the jacket aka robbery . I called my friend who came back told them it was mine but then the people who the bar owner got to attack me and he still allowed to be on his property started threatening to hurt me more and worse even after finding out it was my jacket but I can't write it on here or it will be deleted. I called the police and then they fled and the police didn't show up . I waited an hour then took a can home and seen 3 cops hanging out around the corner doing nothing. I complained about it they got my story via the complaint and they didn't arrest anyone and were more concerned about getting me to sign something saying they didn't do anything wrong . Is there something wrong with this ? No one got in trouble and everyone was fine with that being done to me

I remember hearing about swatting years back and remember one news story about a man coming to his door in the early morning hours from an aggressive swat team. I remembered the police actually damaged his door. They basically forced him to go to his knees and stormed his house and went to his bedrooms where his wife and child were asleep. Apart from being traumatized and having his house vandalized I'm not sure what happened. I remember him wondering who was going to be responsible for repairing his home. I have not heard of the swatting prank in some time so I'm not sure if the police have changed their protocol as the storm trooper response is one wrong reaction from a fatality. Within a short time frame after that news story, I believe that someone actually attempted to do that to me but I only was visited by a single female officer. I was taking a nap at the time and the pounding at the door woke me up. She was angry that I took long to answer and commented that she was about to break door down. She was 5'2 and about 110 pounds soaking wet so I don't know how she was going to pull that off but I taken aback by her sentiments. I stayed calm as I was genuinely discombobulated by her visit. She explained it was some type of emergency call. I cooperated and brought my entire family do the door to show everyone was fine. It was very strange but I wonder what could have happened had I been belligerent when she gave me the attitude.
