The accused was stopped by police for erratic driving.
After failing a roadside breath test, he was arrested for driving while suspended and driving over 80.
The police impounded his vehicle and conducted an inventory search, discovering a loaded firearm under the passenger seat.
The accused brought Charter applications under ss. 8, 9, and 10, arguing the traffic stop was a ruse and the search was unlawful.
The court dismissed the Charter applications, finding the stop was justified by erratic driving and the inventory search was lawful under the Highway Traffic Act.
The court found the accused guilty of the firearms offences, concluding he had knowledge and control of the weapon.
