The appellant appealed his conviction and sentence, arguing that his initial detention lacked articulable cause and that evidence obtained during a subsequent search should be excluded under s. 24(2) of the Charter.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no basis to interfere with the trial judge's conclusion that articulable cause existed.
Furthermore, the court held that the arrest preceding the search was lawful, and the evidence would not have been excluded even if the initial detention was unlawful.
