The judge is doing his job. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (sect. 24) forbids the use of evidence obtained by violating a Charter right in court. The right violated in this case would be "security of the person" in sect. 7. The cops knew this, or should have—"fruit of the poisonous tree" isn't exactly an obscure legal concept, and is something they need to understand to do their jobs, so I assume it's taught in law enforcement courses. So the evidence being thrown out is 100% the cops' fault.

Of course, customers may not be keen to buy anything after being led through the neighbours' back hedge and across the garage roof.
Is it a war if all participants are too busy shooting themselves in the foot to mount an offensive against anyone else?
NieR Automata part 2 OP and ED. Especially the ED is gorgeous.
The NieR ED is the only credits song I'm willing to sit through rather than skipping this season. (I'm picky, or maybe just old. Some seasons I don't find even one OP or ED that doesn't grate on my nerves.)
And? The current president of the Ukraine was an actor before going into politics, and was elected partly due to his portrayal of a politician in a TV series. He hasn't done that badly. Electing a media personality is not necessarily the worst thing you can do for your country. Just make sure the election is as honest and fair as possible.
If there is a non-abusive way to use the notwithstanding clause, I'm not aware of it. It's intended to be used to trample on citizens' rights.
Gargantia? Although that's kind of more Gundam meets Nausicaa. The elements you mention are present, but more background than foreground. Maybe save it until you've spent some time with the others and want to branch out a little further from the basic premise.
Pretty sure that car chase over a minor infraction that ended in a collision and a bunch of innocent people dead a couple of months ago has more to do with this than the car thefts. Assuming that there is any real-world basis for the purchase at all.
Can't be mercury, since it's liquid at room temperature and so wouldn't form "fibres". Americum . . . wouldn't be impossible (and it's still used in smoke detectors to this day, I believe), but the amount in a stack of smoke detectors isn't quite the worst case—there would be more radioactive material in an orphaned radiotherapy or radiography source, which is also wildly improbable but not quite impossible as a multivitamin additive. At least it isn't likely to be an abandoned Soviet radioisotope generator this time.
Could be copper. Or aluminum. Or titanium, for that matter. Lots of possibilities in "metal" that would allow the label to still be technically truthful.
Let's just hope it isn't lead.
The art confuses me. Why the hell were some of the scenes in ep 1 so good but the rest of it so lazy?
Wasn't this the series that got mixed up in that thing with the illegal North Korean outsourcing? Maybe whatever second-string Chinese studio was responsible for that had to redo chunks of the show in a hurry.
Hopefully there are a bunch of programmers there right now standing in a circle around the desk of some manager and bombarding them with a continuous chant of "We told you so!" We knew in the 1990s not to trust stuff coming in off the Internet to be what it claims or reach its destination unmangled, and as I understand it, the software was blindly attempting to parse unverified threat definition files it had downloaded. Doing it all in ring 0 was just that extra crowning touch. This should have been caught before it even got to QA.
