Is a Man’s Home his Castle? Even When He’s on Probation?

Published June 22, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Police, Rights, Unreasonable Search and Seizure


Is a Man's Home his Castle? Even When He’s on Probation?

The short answer is “Yes” according to retired Court of Queen’s Bench Justice M.A. Binder. “The fact of the matter is that it is unlawful to carry out a warrantless search under the guise of a curfew check,” he wrote. Binder’s decision (view PDF) came in response to a complaint against Edmonton Police Service Sgt. Ashley Hayward, in which he ruled Hayward violated the … [Read more...]

Buck Evans Firearm Prohibition Order Edmonton Police

Why does the government refuse to change the law to allow police to track violent repeat offenders with Firearm Prohibition Orders? If they had, perhaps Buck Evans would still be alive today. On December 26, 2018, 34-year-old Buck Evans was shot dead by Edmonton police during what was called a high-risk arrest of an armed and dangerous suspect whose criminal record dates … [Read more...]

Corey Maygard was on the street on Friday, August 10, 2012 and saw what he thought were Edmonton Police Service constables physically abusing a man.  He pulled out his iPhone and started recording what he witnessed. One of the constables came over and demanded that Corey stop recording them.  Fine.  The constable can make any demand he likes.  That doesn’t mean anyone has to … [Read more...]

The sad tale of two police forces and the differences in how they deal with “high-risk” takedowns

Published September 8, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Brutality


The other day I wrote about the case of Sammy Sobieh, the Edmonton business owner who was [allegedly] the subject of police brutality at the hands of the Edmonton Police Service. In the video released to the public of that event, it is clear that Sammy Sobieh is both unarmed and compliant with police demands.  Yes, even though there is no audio and despite the protests of … [Read more...]

The entire thing was … [Read more...]
