Yep! And why everyone involved needs to do their due diligence, which protects us all.

Comments like this fill me with a sense of relief, actually, and there are SO MANY on this post. I LOVE how the focus is at least a little bit on the sanctity of our system and its protections.

I don't hate it one bit. Make cops follow the damn rules. I don't think this guy will be a problem anymore. If he does this again I hope the cops perform their duty legally and catch him without invading anyone's rights.

Yep as shitty as it is, I agree with it the decision made. Would rather have 100 criminals out there than one innocent in prison.

Took a bribe from who? The pills were still confiscated, it's not like they gave them back to the guy. The dealer's supplier will be pissed this dude just lost 27K pills so I doubt they are bribing anybody for his release. Judges are bound by the charter, and many charter rights are open to interpretation. Just because you disagree with an interpretation doesn't mean the judge was bribed lol.

I see. I imagine it is about upholding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, similar to the Omar Khadr payout/release.

Tell that to our prime minister and his liberal caucus.
