The court dismissed the applicants' motion to exclude evidence, finding the search warrants were validly issued based on reliable information from a confidential informant.
The applicants sought to exclude evidence obtained through search warrants, arguing insufficient grounds and a breach of their s. 8 Charter rights.
The court reviewed the Information to Obtain (ITO) for the warrants, including redacted portions under the `Garofoli` "step six" procedure, to protect a confidential informant's identity.
The court found the confidential informant credible and reliable, and the detailed information provided, along with police corroboration of non-criminal details, established reasonable grounds for the warrants.
The application to quash the warrants and exclude evidence was denied.
