The proposed intervener brought a motion for leave to intervene in a criminal appeal concerning the use of facial recognition technology and the taking of a photograph by police in a public place.
The Crown did not oppose intervener status but sought to limit the scope of the intervention.
The motion judge granted leave to intervene, permitting submissions on section 8 of the Charter and facial recognition technology, but restricted the intervener from introducing academic literature as evidence or advancing arguments about racial bias that were not part of the trial record.
