Il est sorti de l’auto‑patrouille, il a dit à ces hommes de sortir de la voiture, il n’a pas fait de mises en garde, il ne les a pas informés de leurs droits, il leur a seulement dit de sortir de la voiture, et le passager est sorti le premier, suivi du défendeur. Après que le passager est sorti, il a vu un sac de marijuana sur le plancher du côté du passager et, cela étant, il a plaqué les deux hommes contre le capot de la voiture.

The officer also says that he saw the accused throw something or thought he saw him throw something to the other side of the car and I think at that point based on everything he came to the conclusion that there was something illegal going on in the car, probably a drug – if not a drug transaction then at least a drug use. And at that point he made what I think in all the circumstances was a decision that was based on determining whether or not there was any drugs in that car and if so, getting his mitts on it. He got out of the police car, he told these gentlemen to get out of their car, he didn’t warn them, he didn’t caution them, he didn’t give them their rights, he just told them to get out of the car and the passenger got out first and subsequently the defendant got out. After the passenger got out he saw a bag of marijuana on the floor of the car on the passenger side and that being so he had the two men on the hood of the car. He took the defendant over and put him in the back of the police car, told him he was under arrest for possession, didn’t caution him, didn’t give him his rights, went back, called for backup who quickly arrived and took the other man into custody. Subsequently he took the accused back to the police station. He tells us that he cautioned him, gave him his rights.
