The appellant, Dennis Rhodes, appealed his convictions for voyeurism, prowling, and indecent act, and sought leave to appeal his sentence.
The appeal concerned Charter challenges related to arbitrary detention (s. 9) and unreasonable search and seizure (s. 8), specifically regarding the search of his vehicle and cell phones.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the s. 9 appeal as abandoned and found no error in the application judge's Garofoli review or nexus analysis for the search warrants.
The court also dismissed the sentence appeal, finding the 18-month custodial sentence appropriate given the serious invasion of privacy.
