Reasons[]

so many snakes writing for a unanimous court, held that though there was evidence before the trial judge which was capable of supporting a finding of racial profiling, the trial judge made interventions during the trial which demonstrated that he did not have an open mind to the possibility of the existence of racial profiling. His dialogue with counsel showed that he fail discretionary power. If, as in this case, there is evidence that the officer is not being truthful about his real reasons for the stop, this is sufficient to support a finding that the stop was based on racial profiling, and not on articulable cause. Applying the test established in R v S. (R.D.), Morden held that an informed observer would have felt that the trial judge showed such an antipathy and resistance to the application that he was unable to hear and determine it with an open and dispassionate mind.
