Police are off siding the public causing a bad perception when it comes to them requiring a strip search of a person for not validated reason. R v rondo (2001) 126 a crim r 562. Smart aj: a reasonable suspicion involves less than a reasonable belief but more than a possibility, reasonable suspicion is not arbitrary. Some factual basis for the suspicion must be shown. A suspicion may be based on hearsay material or materials which may be inadmissible in evidence. Police stop people based upon profiling due to age, race and how they look. Issue was if the police officers experience was sufficient to be reasonable suspicion, his experience with other people cannot be a reasonable ground for another different person. Hc overruled the decision of the supreme court.
