In this episode, Mike discusses the Ontario Court of Appeal decision R. v. Williams, 2024 ONCA 508 where an officer searched a vehicle after arresting its passenger on an outstanding warrant, finding drugs under his seat — including cocaine and fentanyl. The officer testified the search was a “search incident to arrest”, but no further questions were asked of him and nothing more was said. The accused did not challenge the constitutionality of the search at trial but, after being convicted of two PPT counts and breaching his bail, he argued before an appellate court that there was no basis for the search because the arrest was made pursuant to a warrant. Did the Court of Appeal take up the accused’s challenge? And what lesson can the police learn from this ruling?
