Khadr is important because it recognized and applied an important exception to Hape. In it, the Supreme Court held that the Charter could be applied outside of Canada because the United States was in breach of international law. Khadr is the latest in a series of cases to address the application of the Charter to the actions of Canadian officials abroad.

A police officer, acting without a warrant, must have reasonable and probable grounds for the search. Evidence obtained by an unreasonable search in violation of s. 8 may be excluded under s. 24(2) of the Charter. The Supreme Court excluded evidence of drugs found in a high school student\u2019s backpack by a police sniffer dog. In a companion case the Supreme Court excluded drugs found in passenger\u2019s bag at a bus depot.

Police may use legitimate means of persuasion to try to obtain a statement from a detainee who has asserted a choice to remain silent.
