If Canadian police wish to stop you, they will have a reason. Simply saying that you are behaving suspiciously or that they wished to check on your welfare is reason enough to stop and question you, if only for a few moments. It is not, however, reason enough to detain or penalize you in any way.

If you meant could they prevent you from walking along certain routes while hiking, then yes, they can stop you in some cases. Pedestrians are not allowed on freeways, for instance. You would have to use an alternate route in that case.

Can police pull you over for no reason?

No. In Canada, the police are entitled to stop ANY motorist without probable cause to verify your eligibility to drive. This includes checking your license status, sobriety, physical fitness to be behind the wheel, insurance status, and vehicle condition. Any other offenses observed in plain sight or discovered through legally acceptable investigative procedures while conducting such a traffic stop are perfectly admissible in court.


Can a police officer search you while your walking?

They do have the power (in the UK) to stop and search you for specific purposes. They couldn't search you while you are walking though. They have to inform you first.Added: (in the US) Upon "reasonable suspicion" an officer can detain you for a short time to speak with you and even conduct a pat-down of your outer clothing (Terry v. Ohio). This type of lawful stop must be documented.
