Section 24 is the section generally referred to when a person is seeking a remedy for a charter breach. For example, let's say the police stop you on your way to pick up a hooker and find all your blow in your duffle bag. If the court finds that there was a violation of your section 8 right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure, then you can ask that the evidence obtained in violation of your rights be excluded under section 24.
