J.R. was a passenger in a vehicle stopped during an impaired driving investigation. On a search of the vehicle, the police discovered Cannabis in a sealed bag in a closed centre console, which they used to search the client, leading them to discover a loaded handgun in his waistband. LAWYER UP successfully won the client’s release on bail, by pointing out the initial search was unlawful, as was the search of the client’s person, as he could not have had any knowledge of control of the drugs in the closed center console of another person’s vehicle.
