Search and seizure is a legal procedure used in many common law whereby police, who suspect that a crime has been committed, do a search of a person's property and confiscate any relevant evidence to the crime.
However, searches are premitted under the "plain view" and "open fields" doctrine that allow an officer to seize evidence that is located where there is no expectation of privacy.
For a search to be "reasonable" it must be authorized by law, the law itself must be reasonable, and the manner in which the search was carried out must be reasonable (R. v.

Search warrants are discussed in detail in Search Warrants: What They Are and When They're Necessary.
If, upon review, a court finds that an unreasonable search occurred, any evidence seized as a result of the search cannot be used as direct evidence against the defendant in a criminal prosecution, state or federal.

 Daniel Shap, "Search and Seizure of Canadian Computer Environments "
Search and seizure is generally viewed as an exceptional remedy.18 Consequently, it has traditionally been held that the warrant should only authorize the search for specified goods, with a view to a specified offence.
Similarly, the indirect seizure of the electronic communications or e-mail of third parties who are not the object of investigation would constitute an infringement of this requirement for particularization.
Such third persons who seek to take an action for the inappropriate seizure of their electronic correspondence, would likely possess the necessary locus standi to contest the seizure and avail themselves of their constitutional right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure as guaranteed by s.

The court has long held that a search occurs when the government intrudes into an area that people would reasonably expect would be private.
So, therefore, that violated his expectations of privacy and constituted a search so the government should have been forced to get a search warrant before they used the device in the first place.
