Of course, it would be fair enough to challenge them, later, if their explanation had been inadequate, but to go public with this kind of implied criticism without giving them an opportunity to provide additional background information is a
breach of
normal procedure, not to say a
breach of good manners.
Thus defences involving alleged
breaches of
normal police
procedure or
breaches of a person's Charter Rights (under section 10: right to counsel, or under section 8: right against unreasonable search and seizure) are simply not available in IRP and ADP appeals.
