In Frey v Fedoruk (1950), Bernard Frey was arrested for "peeping" into a house, which was argued to cause a breach of peace. The court held this act did not constitute a criminal offence, establishing that actions deemed offensive but not explicitly criminal cannot justify arrest.
Legal Definition of Crime: The Supreme Court ruled that "peeping" does not constitute a criminal offence under Canadian law, highlighting that an action must be clearly defined as a crime in legal statutes or established through legal precedents to warrant arrest.
