The applicant, charged with child pornography offences, brought a Charter application to exclude evidence obtained from a search of his home and digital devices.
The search warrant was obtained using subscriber information linked to an IP address provided by an ISP prior to the Supreme Court's decision in R. v. Spencer.
The court found that while the search violated section 8 of the Charter, the evidence should not be excluded under section 24(2) because the police acted in good faith reliance on the law as it existed at the time.
The court also dismissed arguments that the warrant lacked reasonable grounds, failed to specify computers, and was executed unreasonably.
