JUDGE THROWS OUT $500,000 GROW-OP CASE
WHITBY, ONT. - A judge has thrown out all charges in a $500,000
marijuana grow-op seizure because of serious charter violations by
police who killed two dogs at a home in Pickering, Ont.
Superior Court Justice Barry MacDougall ruled Monday that Durham
Regional Police officers had a "casual" approach to the charter rights
of Edmond Kim, 30, when they entered his home in April 2003 before
obtaining a search warrant.
Police testified last month that they were called to the home, just
east of Toronto, after receiving a call that two "vicious dogs" were
terrorizing neighbours.
