P4P Cocaine

R. v. T.L. | 2025 | BRAMPTON

The client and his friends parked their vehicle at a strip club when police on “proactive patrol” approached.  They claimed to see an open bottle of alcohol in the vehicle which led to a search of the car and the client, despite the fact that he was not the driver or in possession of the alcohol.  After locating cocaine and cash, they arrested him and seized the drugs, money, and his Louis Vuitton satchel.  Following a Judicial Pretrial highlighting all of the ways in which the police violated his constitutional rights, the Crown agreed that there was no reasonable prospect of conviction and withdrew the charges.  We then secured the return of his money and his satchel of course.
