Telewarrants
 5. (1) For the purpose of obtaining a warrant for the arrest of an offender under subsection 11 (5) of the Act, a police officer may submit information on oath by telephone or other means of telecommunication to any provincial judge or justice of the peace.  O. Reg. 69/01, s. 5 (1). (2) The judge or justice of the peace who receives an information submitted by a means of telecommunication that produces a writing shall, as soon as practicable, cause to be filed, with the clerk of the court in the county or district in which the judge or justice of the peace is sitting, the information certified by the judge or justice of the peace as to time and date of receipt.  O. Reg. 69/01, s. 5 (2); O. Reg. 419/08, s. 3 (1). (3) Instead of swearing an oath when submitting an information by a means of telecommunication that produces a writing, a police officer may make a statement in writing stating that all matters contained in the information are true to his or her knowledge and belief and such a statement shall be deemed to be a statement made under oath.  O. Reg. 69/01, s. 5 (3). (4) An information submitted by telephone or other means of telecommunication shall include, (a) a statement of the circumstances that make it impracticable for the police officer to appear personally before a judge or justice of the peace; and (b) a statement that the offender failed to comply with section 3 or 7 of the Act, as the case may be.  O. Reg. 69/01, s. 5 (4). (5) A provincial judge or justice of the peace may issue a warrant for the arrest of an offender under subsection 11 (5) of the Act if the judge or justice of the peace is satisfied that an information submitted by telephone or other means of telecommunication conforms with the requirements of subsection (4) and discloses, (a) reasonable grounds to believe that the offender has failed to comply with section 3 or 7 of the Act; and (b) reasonable grounds for dispensing with an information presented personally and in writing.  O. Reg. 69/01, s. 5 (5). (6) Where a judge or justice of the peace issues a warrant by a means of telecommunication that produces a writing, (a) the judge or justice of the peace shall complete and sign the warrant in Form 4, noting on its face the time, date and place of issuance; (b) the judge or justice of the peace shall transmit the warrant by the means of telecommunication to the police officer who submitted the information; and (c) the judge or justice of the peace shall, as soon as practicable after the warrant has been issued, cause the warrant to be filed with the clerk of the court in the county or district in which the judge or justice of the peace is sitting.  O. Reg. 69/01, s. 5 (6); O. Reg. 419/08, s. 3 (2); O. Reg. 227/11, s. 5. (7) In any proceeding in which it is material for a court to be satisfied that an arrest was authorized by a warrant issued by telephone or other means of telecommunication, the absence of the information or warrant, signed by a judge or justice of the peace and carrying on its face a notation of the time, date and place of issuance, is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, proof that the arrest was not authorized by a warrant issued by telephone or other means of telecommunication.  O. Reg. 69/01, s. 5 (7). (8) A duplicate or facsimile of an information or warrant has the same probative value as the original for the purposes of subsection (7).  O. Reg. 69/01, s. 5 (8).
