Judge Throws Out Cocaine Charges Over Rights Violation | Montreal News
Description
A Windsor judge tossed out massive cocaine smuggling charges against a truck driver, calling the CBSA’s strip search a gross violation of Charter rights — degrading, humiliating, and legally flawed. Over 120 bricks of cocaine worth millions were seized, but the judge ruled the search so egregiously wrong it undermined justice itself. Officers lacked proper authorization, ignored the driver’s requests for legal counsel and supervision, and failed to follow updated policies — which many officers didn’t even know existed. The ruling sends a stark message: border enforcement must respect fundamental rights, not trample them.
