The accused was arrested without a warrant for possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking based on information provided by a confidential informant.
Following her arrest, she handed over methamphetamine to police.
The accused brought a Charter application to exclude the evidence, arguing the arrest lacked reasonable and probable grounds.
The court dismissed the application, finding the informant's tip was sufficiently reliable and detailed to provide reasonable and probable grounds for the arrest.
The court further held that even if the arrest was unlawful, the evidence would not be excluded under section 24(2) of the Charter.
