Pre-trial yesterday for Tony Olienick + Chris Carbert, Coutts '2', produced an interesting result.
TL;dr - 2/3 of wiretaps ruled 'Charter Breaches', anything heard on them inadmissable.
The fun part is that 3/3 of wiretaps produced *zero* evidence.
Pre-trials resume April 16.

RCMP made a lot of mistakes in trying to rush something, anything, to find dirt on the protest, and in the process of finding nothing, they acted illegally themselves.
Almost like there was a commandment from high up the food chain.

For clarification, '2/3' means 2 out of three days - RCMP placed an 'unauthorized imminent harm' wiretap on their phone, which lasted 3 days.

The wiretaps produced no illegal activity nor actionable evidence; first wiretap had a time limit, which means RCMP were supposed to apply, with details, for a second, different wiretap, after the first 24 hours, which they did not do; thus, 48 hours worth of wiretap = illegal.

Judges don't need evidence when they have feelings and opinions...but yes, great news.

Inadmissible and zero evidence, is it possible these men have been in remand for over two years on the basis of no "real" evidence? That couldn't be could it? Guilty until proven innocent...😑😡
