Because s. 231.3 removed the residual discretion of the issuing judge to refuse to issue a search warrant in the proper circumstances, notwithstanding that the statutory criteria for its issuance had been met, it violated s. 8 of the Charter and, therefore, was of no force or effect, and search warrants issued and executed pursuant to it were invalid.
