The applicant brought an application to exclude evidence seized during the execution of a search warrant at a hotel room, arguing a violation of his s. 8 Charter rights.
The police had relied on information from an anonymous caller, two confidential informants, and surveillance observations to obtain the warrant.
The court applied the Debot criteria and found the informant information to be compelling, credible, and corroborated.
The court concluded that the issuing justice had sufficient reasonable and probable grounds to issue the warrant and dismissed the application to exclude the evidence.
