Illegal Traffic Stop Canada

Summary

In Canada, an illegal traffic stop may occur if police stop you without reasonable suspicion or probable cause, use excessive force, or fail to read your rights if detained or arrested. Police can arrest a driver without asking for paperwork if they have reasonable grounds to believe an arrestable offense has been committed, such as suspected impaired driving or outstanding warrants. If you believe your rights were violated, consider consulting a legal professional for advice.
