Wiretaps and search warrants are powerful investigative tools used by police in serious criminal investigations across Toronto. When law enforcement obtains authorization to intercept private communications or conduct searches of homes, vehicles, phones, or businesses, the legal requirements are strict and highly technical. Any failure to comply with the Criminal Code or the Charter of Rights and Freedoms can significantly affect the admissibility of the evidence gathered. In many cases, the validity of a wiretap authorization or search warrant can determine the strength — or weakness — of the Crown’s case.

At Dalraj Bains Criminal Lawyers, we carefully scrutinize every aspect of police authorizations and investigative procedures. Our firm reviews the Information to Obtain (ITO), examines whether the threshold for judicial authorization was properly met, and analyzes whether your Charter rights were violated. We challenge unlawful searches, overly broad warrants, and improperly obtained intercepts, and we bring exclusion applications where appropriate. When your case involves complex evidentiary issues tied to wiretaps or search warrants, you need experienced legal counsel prepared to identify technical defects and aggressively protect your constitutional rights.
