This is from Wiki's article on section 8 of the Charter. (Sufficient for these purposes, peruse the citations at your leisure.
Quote: | Not every form of examination constitutes search. A search within the meaning of section eight is determined by whether the investigatory technique used by the state diminishes a person's reasonable expectation of privacy. The focus of analysis is upon the purpose of the examination. A police officer who compels someone to produce their licence would not be invasive enough to constitute a search (R. v. Ladouceur, [1990][1]). Equally, an inspection of the inside of a car is not a search, but questions about the contents of a bag would be. (R. v. Mellenthin [1992][2]) It has also been ruled that the use of a police dog as a means to gain probable cause to search is also in itself a violation of Section 8, and that other factors must be present before a police dog can be used and a search executed. (R. v. A.M. [2008],[3] R. v. Kang-Brown [2008][4])

On the USDGC site, there is a pdf that states that:
Quote: | Competitors must meet the following requirements to qualify for the 2011 USDGC:
You must have a PDGA Player Rating of 850 or higher
At regional qualifying events you must play the exact course configuration(s) as the Open Division. Playing on the same days and/or times is not required. |
If I bring my 824 up to 850 before the USDGC, is that sufficient?
(In case you hadn't noticed, I'm REALLY bummed about this at the moment) |
Given what you've quoted and what you've signed up for, playing in Am-2 wouldn't let you win the spot either since it isn't using the same course configuration as the Open Division. C'mon up to Am-1 and you'll have a better idea of how you might have fared. _________________ The box said 'Requires Windows XP or better'. So I installed LINUX... |

So, periods where there are more-than-usual amounts of people likely to be driving around impaired somehow falls under "arbitrarily"? _________________ 1020 rated lunch preparationist |

Quote: | In R. v. Wilson (1990), it was found that random stops by police, authorized by statute, were in violation of section 9 but were justified as a reasonable limitation under section 1 of the Charter. Likewise, in R. v. Ladouceur (1990) highway stops were found to be arbitrary where absolute discretion was given to the police. Again, the violation was justified under section 1.

It has nothing to do with searches of the person, but stopping inocent people randomly to start an investigation with no prior reason to start an investigation. |

Guys? A RIDE program is not a random stop. A random stop is the act of a police officer pulling over a car at random. The RIDE program pulls over ALL cars.

USDGC wrote: | Section 2. Official Qualifying Events
A total of ten (10) positions will be awarded at each qualifying events. The top ten (10) overall scores will qualify for the 2011 USDGC. |
I'll be on my way to AM-1 soon enough. Let me enjoy the shallow end of the pool for a little while longer. Hell, if I'd played AM-2 in California, I would have finished DFL of about 45 people... _________________ Go Sens! |

Play where you feel comfortable. You'll have lot's of opportunities to be a donor in your DG career. A rating of <850 is not a rating for the top Amateur division. _________________ Boyle says BOOM! |

We have been given one spot for Eastern Canada region. I don't think we are slotted into the regional qualifiers with the 10 positions. We would fall under Section 3 of that pdf. _________________ If you can't win the event in regulation, try, try, try again.
