The accused was charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking in cocaine and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking in marijuana.
Police officers conducted a warrantless detention and search of the accused's vehicle based on suspicion arising from the manner in which the vehicle was parked.
The court found that the detention was arbitrary, lacking reasonable suspicion, and that the subsequent search was tainted by the unlawful detention.
The court excluded all evidence obtained as a result of the Charter breaches and acquitted the accused on all charges.
