A Charter Right to Search Google™? (Right to counsel)

Kanada mahkemesi, R v McKay davasında Internet erişimini savunma hakkının temel bir parçası saydı.
İlginç olan bu davada bir Google araştırması yapılması ihtiyacından yola çıkılarak Internet erişimi hakkının, Kanada insan hakları hukukunda lafzen ve fiilen "danışma hakkı" diye yeri olan bu hakkın, "savunma", "adil yargılanma" haklarıyla örtüşmesi ve bundan böyle mahkemelerde savunmanın elinin altında "Google Search" imkanının da hazır bulundurulup bulundurulmayacağı!

Alberta Court Concludes That Access to Internet Is Fundamental Part of Right to Counsel
Today the Slaw blog highlighted R. v. McKay, a very interesting Canadian case in which a 19-year-old defendant claims he was not given a reasonable opportunity to exercise his right to counsel. The defendant's main argument is that he was not provided with "a full range of resources and access to sources of information which reasonably were or ought have been made available to him" because he was not given access to the Internet.
Following his arrest for operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, the defendant was asked if he wanted to call a lawyer and he replied, "yes." An officer then showed the accused the "resources" available to contact counsel:
  • 411 for information as to phone numbers; and
  • the White Pages and the Yellow Pages of the telephone book.
