Canadians have the right to record police-but only if they understand how the law actually works.
How to Be a 2(b) Auditor in Canada is a clear, practical guide for cop watchers, citizen journalists, and accountability activists who want to document police activity lawfully and safely. Grounded in Section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, this book explains where you can and cannot record, how police commonly overstep their authority, what equipment to use, and how to protect your footage from seizure or deletion.
Written in plain language and focused on real-world encounters, this book shows how calm, disciplined auditing builds evidence, exposes patterns, and strengthens accountability-without interference or escalation.
If you carry a camera in the public interest, this is the guide every Canadian should read before pressing record.
