omega6 writes ""The Supreme Court of Canada struck down Friday warrantless wiretap powers that police have in cases of emergency. The country’s top court said a 1993 provision of the Criminal Code is unconstitutional because there is no accountability or oversight for the warrantless searches, either to the person wiretapped or in reports to Parliament.""
