Canadian cable companies interrogate, search Montréal software developer
> On June 9, the telecoms got an Anton Piller order, a civil search warrant that gives a plaintiff access to a defendant's home, without notice, to search for and seize relevant evidence before it can be destroyed.A Federal Court judge would later declare the Anton Piller order in this case "unlawful," but that was weeks after a group of men arrived at Lackman's door...Mind boggling that Canadian law constructed a civil no-notice (i.e. unappealable) instrument with third-party enforcement. That literally cedes the state's monopoly on violence [1].Curious if such a law would pass Constitutional muster in the United States.[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_on_violence
