JUDGE DITCHES $13M COCAINE CHARGES: TRUCKER'S RIGHTS VIOLATED

A Windsor judge has tossed out drug smuggling charges against a cross-border trucker, citing 'egregious' Charter rights violations. The case involved over 120 bricks of cocaine, with a street value of $13 million. The driver was facing a potential life sentence, but the court ruled that the evidence was obtained unlawfully. The judge slammed border agents for their heavy-handed tactics, calling it a 'blatant disregard' for the trucker's rights. The Crown’s case? Clapped before it even got started.
