Is there a reasonable suspicion that the accused was a legitimate target for the purposes of a criminal investigation?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Doerksen, 2002 BCPC 36 (CanLII):
There are really two questions. Was there a reasonable suspicion which made the accused a legitimate target, and if so, did the officers go further than allowed by Regina v. Mack? That is, did they go beyond giving an opportunity to commit an offence and induce the commission of an offence?
