A Quebec judge says police who searched a suspect carrying a “man purse” and found a loaded weapon inside did not engage in profiling.

The case involves Marcus Nimeri, who was stopped by Montreal police in October 2023 and found to be carrying in his shoulder bag a handgun that had been illegally modified.
