The accused was charged with drug and firearms offences after police executed a search warrant at a residence.
During the search, police found drugs and cash, and subsequently questioned the accused without providing rights to counsel or a caution, eliciting statements about vehicle keys.
The police used these statements to seize the keys and search two vehicles, locating firearms.
The court found egregious violations of the accused's ss. 8 and 10(b) Charter rights, noting that senior officers acted carelessly, showed blatant disregard for Charter rights, and misled the court.
Applying the Grant framework, the court excluded the firearms evidence under s. 24(2) of the Charter.
