In Part 1 of Know Your Rights, constitutional lawyer Grey Matter Podcast explains how Canadians should interact with police during a traffic stop. We discuss identification, your right to remain silent, arbitrary detention, legal counsel, impairment testing, vehicle searches, passengers’ rights and recording police interactions.
Knowing your rights does not mean becoming aggressive or confrontational. It means understanding what police can legally demand, what you can refuse and how to protect yourself without escalating the situation.
