Firearm Possession

R. v. E.P.C. | TORONTO

Client tried to sleep off a night of partying in the front seat of his vehicle and ended up arrested for impaired driving.  The police conducted an inventory search of the car before towing it, and a loaded handgun was found in the back seat, in a satchel, containing the client’s passport.  After a 4 day trial in Ontario Court, the client was acquitted when the Crown failed to prove that he had knowledge and control of the gun in the car.
