R v. B (2016)

R v. B (2016) is a Canadian legal case where the Supreme Court clarified the rights of individuals accused of crimes. The decision emphasized that when police question a suspect, they must inform them of their constitutional rights, including the right to silence and legal counsel. If these rights are not properly communicated, any statements made may be considered inadmissible in court. The case reinforced the importance of the Criminal Code’s protections, ensuring that suspects’ rights are upheld during interrogation, and helped define when a confession is legally valid.
