Principes généraux

General Requirements of Waiver

It is generally required that the Crown show that the waiver included the following:[1]

  1. the accused gave express or implied consent to waive the rights
  2. the giver of the consent had the authority to give consent
  3. the consent was voluntary in the sense that that word is used in Goldman, supra, and was not the product of police oppression, coercion or other external conduct which negated the freedom to choose whether or not to allow the police to pursue the course of conduct requested;
  4. the giver of the consent was aware of the nature of the police conduct to which he or she was being asked to consent;
  5. the giver of the consent was aware of his or her right to refuse to permit the police to engage in the conduct requested; and,
  6. the giver of the consent was aware of the potential consequences of giving the consent.
Burden

The burden is upon the Crown to prove that the waiver on a balance of probabilities.[2]

Waiver Must be Clear and Fully Informed

The waiver of any Charter right must be done clearly and unequivocally with full knowledge of the scope of the right and effect of the waiver.[3] The person must be "fully and properly informed" in order for the waiver to be valid.[4]

This requirement equally applies to any procedural right as well as Charter right, which can be waived where the waiver is "waiver is informed, clear, and unequivocal."[5]

Impairments of Accused

Where the accused is intoxicated there is an increased onus on the Crown to prove valid waiver given that they may not readily have a "true appreciation of the consequences" of waiving their right.[6] This may require that police delay the continuation of the investigation until the person is sober enough to understand their rights enough to waive them.[7]

Section 8 of Charter

It is necessary for the Crown to prove waiver of an accused right under s. 8du Charte canadienne des droits et libertés.[8]

Entrance onto Property

An express or implied invitation, such as at the attendance of police at the door of a residence or being invited into the house, results in the waiving of privacy.[9]
