The following excerpt is from R. v. Masterson, 2009 CanLII 34983 (ON SC):

The existence of objectively and subjectively reasonable grounds is critical to the balancing of the values of privacy and effective investigative tools. Indeed, “the state’s interest in detecting and preventing crime begins to prevail over the individual’s interest in being left alone at the point where credibly-based probability replaces suspicion” (Canada v. Southam, supra, at 115). Standard of Review
