Judge dismisses drug evidence against Abdelkader due to police misconduct in British Columbia.

A British Columbia Supreme Court judge dismissed drug evidence against Nabil Abdelkader, ruling that the Vernon RCMP violated his Charter rights. The court found the police used a hit-and-run investigation as a pretext to search Abdelkader's vehicle without a warrant, discovering drugs. The judge determined the police colluded with civil forfeiture authorities to bypass due process and exclude evidence.
