Abstract
In R v Brown and R v M(A) the Supreme Court has unanimously rejected the American notion that the use of sniffer dogs is not a search at all. Instead, the Court is willing to accept that even minimally intrusive, directed police investigation techniques and tools are subject to Charter scrutiny. However, there is much less clarity around the issue of when such a search might be permissible.
