Police applied for a warrant to search the whole house where a suspected drug dealer lived instead of just his basement suite. Judge Ellen Gordon ruled that left 'significant potential for the residences of non-involved parties to be violated.'
A B.C. provincial court judge had harsh words for police officers investigating a Burnaby drug dealer four years ago.
Police searched Cheung's basement suite on Sept. 28, 2018 and found 52 individually wrapped packages of heroin, fentanyl and caffeine, $9,325 in Canadian cash, $10 in foreign currency, suspected scoresheets, identification, a broken cell phone and two laptop computers. Investigators had applied for a search warrant for the entire house where Cheung lived instead of just for his basement suite.
