The accused, charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, brought a Charter application to exclude evidence seized during a vehicle search.
The police had stopped the vehicle and arrested the accused based on an anonymous tip that he was transporting drugs.
The court found that the tip was compelling, the informant was credible based on past interactions, and the police corroborated the information before the arrest.
The court held that the police had reasonable and probable grounds for the arrest and that the subsequent search was a lawful search incident to arrest.
The application was dismissed.
