In this episode, Mike discusses the New Brunswick Court of Appeal decision R. v. Breau, 2025 NBCA 95 where police arrested a woman for drug trafficking. When police searched the vehicle she was driving, drugs — including methamphetamine, MDMA, and cocaine — along with other evidence was discovered. The woman argued the police did not have sufficient grounds to arrest her, rendering her detention arbitrary — a s. 9 Charter breach. A trial judge upheld the arrest, but she appealed to the New Brunswick Court of Appeal. Find out what the appeal court ruled when it weighed in on the matter.
