Christopher Garnier had no reasonable expectation of privacy during a visit to his mother's home in February 2017, the Cape Breton Regional Police Service argued in its final submissions Tuesday to the Nova Scotia Police Review Board.
The board is considering a claim from Garnier's family that Cape Breton police officers conducted an illegal arrest and seizure of evidence.
The force submitted written arguments to the three-member panel, which is also reviewing closing arguments from Garnier's father, Vincent Garnier.
