An examination of dozens of subsequent cases reveals that section 8 protections have become more difficult to obtain in the post-9\/11 era. Rather than developing rigorous standards for new search and surveillance techniques and technologies, the courts have used the \u003cem\u003eCharter\u003c\/em\u003e to sanction broader police powers. Yet, even as it demonstrates that the core principles of Justice Dickson’s vision for section 8 rights have been diminished, \u003cem\u003ePrivacy in Peril\u003c\/em\u003e suggests that increasing citation of \u003cem\u003eHunter\u003c\/em\u003e in the halls of justice offers hope that some protection of civil liberties will endure in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Jochelson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616543531388,"sku":"9780774862578","price":69.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780774862578_81a7fd50-5ef0-46dd-aead-0ec8a57ede91.jpg?v=1727873545","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/privacy-in-peril","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
