Canada Border Services Agency CBSA: Charter Of Rights And Freedoms

David Fraser Dept: David Fraser was referring to the decision by the Canada Border Services Agency CBSA to install high-definition camera and microphones across the country to listen in and some day record what travellers are talking about as they enter or exit Canada, according to The Star. He predicts that anything collected by this monitoring system that leads to charges will be challenged under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms on the basis that their rights were infringed and a Halifax privacy lawyer says Ottawa has no business eavesdropping on the conversation of travellers at Canadian airports and border crossings. Covertly monitoring . . . all of their conversations, that s pretty intrusive . . . I think that s a little extreme, said Fraser, a privacy expert at the Halifax law firm of McInnes Cooper.
