不过BC公民权利协会等等组织对此严重不满，该罪犯的律师也以此为理由上诉
An RCMP officer explained the operation to the B.C. Supreme Court in November 2022 calling it an "incentive-based scenario."
"The specific scenario was a taste test of tea," the officer told the court.
He said officers dressed as market researchers for a tea company and roamed around the Newroz celebration, offering free samples. He said the participants were also given Tim Hortons gift cards.
"I believe it was a $5 gift card, but I can't be certain on the amount,'' the officer said.
"The participants [who] elected to participate in this event, [and] it was entirely voluntary, could elect to provide personal information which would further give them the possibility of being entered into some form of contest or sweepstakes. This, again, was voluntary."
But participants were never told the tea company was fake and the entire process was designed solely to allow police to obtain their DNA and identities.
The officer said the cups were "individually and uniquely numbered" so police could later match DNA on the cups with names on the contest forms.
Undercover officers would offer to take back the used disposable cup, pretending to throw them away. Instead, the cups were wrapped in a plastic glove to protect against cross-contamination, placed in a garbage bag, then collated in a trailer parked some distance away.
n December 2022, Crown lawyer Porte told the court that 150 cups were collected at the celebration. Three were duplicates, and of the 147 unique DNA samples, 91 were male and 56 female.
He said one of the samples obtained at the Newroz celebration came from a man named Shamdan Ali, and RCMP lab testing showed he shared many genetic characteristics with the DNA of "Male 1," whose semen was found in the body.
