The applicant sought to exclude evidence obtained from two Informations to Obtain (ITOs) that authorized production orders and tracking warrants, alleging a breach of his s. 8 Charter rights.
The applicant argued the ITOs relied on unsourced and uncorroborated information from confidential informants, failing to establish reasonable grounds.
The court applied the totality of the circumstances test and found the informants' tips were compelling, credible, and sufficiently corroborated by police surveillance.
The court held the issuing justice could reasonably have found the requisite grounds and dismissed the application.
