Summary

Investigators repeatedly misrepresented Supreme Court ruling "R. v. Leipert" as being a detriment to the legal system, deterring potential tipsters and manipulating anonymous informants into identifying themselves.[1]

Detail

Cpl. Markus Muntener (the lead RCMP investigator assigned to Lisa's case) has repeatedly claimed that, because of a Supreme Court ruling called "R. v. Leipert," RCMP are now unable to work with Crime Stoppers, or accept anonymous tips, because doing so would result in any court proceedings to be thrown out.[2][3]

No similar claim can be found in reference to any other RCMP case.
