The appellants were stopped in a commercial truck during a random roadside check.
The police officer discovered regulatory violations and, during a search of the cab for documents, found $115,000 in a duffle bag.
The appellants were arrested for possession of proceeds of crime.
A subsequent search of the trailer revealed 392 pounds of marijuana in a hidden compartment.
The Supreme Court of Canada held that the initial stop and regulatory search were lawful and did not violate the Charter.
The arrest was based on reasonable and probable grounds, and the search of the trailer was a valid search incidental to arrest.
Although a later inventory search violated section 8, the evidence was admitted under section 24(2).
The appeal was dismissed.
