Shoooo,na by force? Canadian border officials in Halifax
have charged a man after he refused to hand
over the passcode for his smartphone, but an
expert in the law says it’s not clear whether such
demands are legal.
Alain Philippon is charged with “hindering” under
section 153.1 of the Customs Act, according to
Canadian Border Services Agency representative
Cindy MacKenzie.
That section of the Customs Act, which governs
border inspections, reads: “No person shall,
physically or otherwise, do or attempt to do any
of the following: (a) interfere with or molest an
officer doing anything that the officer is
authorized to do under this Act; or (b) hinder or
prevent an officer from doing anything that the
officer is authorized to do under this Act.”wonder if we have such laws in 9ja!
