R. v. N.A.

Client was charged with possession of cocaine and heroin and fentanyl for the purposes of trafficking. Police arrested the client, searched him, and found a large bag of assorted drugs on him. The matter proceeded to trial, where Mr. Beckett challenged the police’s search of his client and argued that the drugs police found during the search should be excluded from evidence because police had violated his client’s Charter rights. Mr. Beckett’s challenge was successful, and the drugs were excluded from evidence in the trial.
