British Columbia: 

Since 1985, 12 ancillary common law police powers have been generated by trial and appeal courts in BC. Pre-existing common law police powers have been deployed by BC Courts 210 times.

 

Meanwhile, these courts have declined to generate common law police powers 19 times and declined to deploy pre-existing powers 163 times. 

This project would not be possible without the support of the Canadian Bar Association's Law for the Future Fund.
