Question juridique clé
Whether the police informant's fake found-object delivery qualified as covert investigation under the former federal act
Solution extraite
The operation was not covert investigation because it did not involve the required active, targeted establishment of contact with the suspect.
Motifs extraits
The informant merely handed over the bag and left; there was no conversation or interaction aimed at committing an offence. The contact criterion was therefore not met, even though the suspect was deceived.
