For serious crimes, typically murder, Canadian police have utilized undercover operations to elicit confessions. These operations typically involve recruiting suspects into fictitious crime organizations. The suspect is introduced to the "crime boss" with the goal of obtaining a video-recorded confession. Are these operations prone to eliciting false confessions? Are these confessions admissible in court? Can evidence from these operations unfairly bias jurors? We will view these obtained confessions and examine the legal and psychological issues pertaining to these operations.
