Bringing Home Justice for Victims of Serious Crimes Act
  • This bill, called the Bringing Home Justice for Victims of Serious Crimes Act, aims to amend the Criminal Code in Canada. The amendment would allow a judge to order a person to unlock an electronic device if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the device contains evidence related to a crime. The order must be executed in a reasonable manner, and failure to comply with the order can result in criminal charges. However, evidence of unlocking the device cannot be used to prove ownership or knowledge of its contents in any legal proceedings.
