As the OP suggests, this was Vancouver's Lower East side, probably half the residents have "extensive and prolonged criminal records", particularly for petty crimes and possession. Even if the cops didn't know him, they wouldn've known the odds are good that they'd find something given the neighbourhood.

And they did, so really can't fault them for doing their job. Now hopefully the judge will do his now and not try to make a martyr of this career criminal.

For him to be a martyr I would figure he'd need to get a really harsh punishment.

Martyr in the sense he is "forced" to give him the 1 year sentence and cry about how regretfully he had to hand the sentence to the poor poor man and make noise about it in the media.
