The accused brought pre-trial motions to exclude evidence in a drug trafficking prosecution involving heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, and psilocybin.
The accused challenged the sufficiency of the search warrants for two motel rooms, sought leave to cross-examine the affiant, and alleged Charter breaches regarding unlawful detention, strip searches, and delayed implementation of the right to counsel.
The court dismissed all motions, finding the warrants sufficient, the detention and strip searches justified, and that while the right to counsel was breached by delay, no evidence was obtained as a result of that breach.
