B.C.’s police complaint commissioner has reviewed hundreds of Abbotsford police search warrants and found problems that could put at least 43 cases in jeopardy.
Paul Doroshenko, a defence lawyer, said he has already written a letter to representatives of the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, asking for information on which cases may have been impacted.
“Public confidence and our ability to defend our clients and people’s ability to deal with this comes down to us knowing who the police officers are. If we should be putting something on hold, we need to know,” he said in an interview.
