Like Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down (
based, unlike this,
on real events), Tears of the Sun opens with documentary footage of
random shootings and maimed bodies to validate its (in this
case) spurious reality.
Because the stop was neither «
random» as was the
case in Hufsky, Ladouceur, Brown v. Durham and Nolet, nor
based on an alleged HTA infraction, the defence argues that the
cases that support a police right to pull over a car where the existence of both HTA purposes and criminal investigatory purposes is shown (e.g.: Brown v. Durham, Nolet) have no application.
