In this criminal appeal as of right, the Court considered whether evidence obtained after an unlawful police detention should be excluded under s. 24(2) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms following a breach of s. 9.
Adopting the reasons of the intermediate appellate court judge, the Court held that the weighing of the relevant exclusion factors did not support excluding the impugned evidence.
The conviction was therefore left undisturbed.
The appeal was dismissed from the bench with brief oral reasons.
