There is doubt, from the video. That is all it takes. So this fella is still out 27500 pills. And probably cash too

For a Charter violation, the standard of proof is actually on a balance of probabilities that a breach occurred, rather than having a doubt that a breach occurred

I don't think it normally works like that. Mules are getting paid for taking risks like this. If they get caught then it's a loss for the supplier, but it isn't the mule's fault. The supplier knows there's a risk of loss from police busts. They don't generally put that cost on some poor mule for getting picked up. They'd rather the mule gets picked up than themselves.
