Summary:

111The court is considering a specific case from Ontario involving a cocaine bust that was, in the words of Ontario Superior Court Justice Norman Karam, "brazen and flagrant" in the police abuse of privacy rights. An Ontario provincial police constable had stopped an SUV only because it was driving at precisely the speed limit, and then arbitrarily searched the vehicle and found cocaine valued at as much as $4.6 million. Everyone involved in the case and the ultimate conviction of the SUV's driver, Bradley Harrison, agrees that the evidence was tainted by the police officer's unjustified action. The issue before the Supreme Court now is whether the magnitude of the crime can justify the brazen and flagrant violation of Mr. Harrison's rights.
