The telephone rang in Station 14,

Constable Dylan Porter picked up the phone
with one hand, while the other hand tried to
shuffle his paperwork singlehandedly.

A familtar voice spoke

Hey, Dylan baby, is this a good time to talk?

Constable Dylan Porter put down his papers
and settled down to talk to his favorite inform-
ant. Marshall was the best in the business. He
always came across with the goods. .

Yeah, Marshall, always a great time to talk
with you.

Marshall whispered into the phone. Dylan
had to strain to get the details.

Listen, cant talk loud, dont want the guys in

the poolroom to cateli on. Just gota hot tip.
Willy Norbert is leaving on the ferry today to
pick up some drugs on the mainjand and is
coming back tonight to the island Keep a
close watch on this guy. Hes going to be driv-
ing a white GM 4.x 4. And a great looking
blond is going to be sitting next to him.
. Constable Dylan hung up.the phone and
Started barking out orders. This is a big one,
guys, dont muck up, Weve been trying to pin
something on Willy for over a year. This is
our big chance. Get him.

That evening, Willy and Sally, and his gor-
geous blond girlfriend were, sitting in his
white 4 x 4 on the ferry waiting to drive off
the ferry.

Sally poked Willy,

Willy, Im scared. Ive been hearing voices.
The cops are out to get us.

Will looked annoyed.

Sally, those voices are going to drive you
crazy one day, Theyre beginning to drive me
nuts, Nothing is going to happen. Nothing.
Nobody knows that why we went to the main-
land. Aad if they dont know nothing, they
cant do nothing.

Drug Pusher

You BE THE JUDGE

BY CLAIRE BERNSTEIN

BASED ON
ACTUAL COURT
CASES

Just as Willy and Sally drove carefully off
the ferry, their 4 x 4 was surrounded by
police cars.

Sorry sir, but were going to have to search
your car.

The police found the drugs and arrested
Willy and his girlfriend.

Willy fought them tooth and nail.

Willy stated his case, Your Honour, the
officers had no right to search my car. I was
not driving in a suspicious manner. There
was no odour of drugs. The officers didnt
have a search warrant. Almost everyone
returns to the province by ferry. The charges
arent valid. If they hadnt séarched my car,
they woukint have found the drugs.

Dylan testified, Your Honour, I was acting
on a tip from an informant, I didnt have
enough evidence to get a search warrant until
Tsaw Willy leaving the ferry, If I went to get
one, he wouldve gotten away. The law says
that a police officer can search any place
when theres good reason to believe a crime is
taking place.

Was the car illegally searched?
