The accused challenged the validity of a search warrant executed at his apartment, alleging it violated section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The accused argued there were no reasonable grounds to believe he was the individual referred to by a confidential informant, that he resided at the searched location, or that evidence would be found there.
The court upheld the search warrant, finding that the police had established reasonable grounds based on the informant's credible and corroborated information, vehicle registration records, driver's licence information, and CCTV footage showing the accused's presence at the apartment.
The court rejected the accused's arguments and dismissed the Charter application.
