The defendant, Trevell Rumbaki, was charged with several firearm offences after an encounter with police officers who targeted him without grounds.
The defendant fled when ordered to return to his vehicle, discarding a loaded handgun in a compost bin during the pursuit.
A subsequent warrantless search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a second loaded handgun.
The court found that the police conduct constituted an arbitrary detention and an unlawful search, violating the defendant's Charter rights.
Applying the framework from R. v. Le, the court excluded both firearms under section 24(2) of the Charter.
