on arriving at the police station Mr. G has the right "to retain and instruct council" (Griffiths and Verdun-Jones, 1994, p. 280) under section 10 (b) of the Charter. Although it does not guarantee him paid legal council, should the accused be under-represented, it would be the duty of the trial judge to ensure the accused receives a fair trial (Young, 2000). In this case, Mr. G has the financial means to fund his own legal
             representation. He is then photographed and fingerprinted under the terms of the Identification of Criminals Act where the suspect is being charged with an indictable offense, Section 2-1(Griffiths and Verdun-Jones, 1994, p 112). Mr. G is then held in a prison cell until he appears, within twenty-four hours before a Justice of the Peace or Judge where a bail hearing will proceed. Section 9 in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that; "everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned"(Government of Canada, 2000, p.647).
