Cocaine dealer says $74K fine for selling drugs to undercover cop is unconstitutional

He waged a constitutional challenge saying the imposition of a fine in lieu of forfeiture of the proceeds of crime — which he said he no longer had — is cruel and unusual punishment.

Abdelrazzaq doesn’t like to work, court heard at his trial in 2021: He called physical labour “disfiguring” and the work environment of retail sales “toxic.”

Abdelrazzaq objected and his lawyer argued the laws that allowed fines in lieu of forfeiture enforced by imprisonment breached the Charter of Rights.
