Cases Involving Other Driving Offences:
R. v. Steven Johns
Steven was driving along a country road when he found himself behind a slow-moving car. He carefully assessed the situation and decided to attempt to overtake the vehicle. He moved out into oncoming traffic but then the vehicle ahead of him decided to speed up. Steven accelerated and just made it back into his lane, avoiding a serious collision with the oncoming car. Unfortunately, that oncoming car was a police officer. Steven found himself charged with dangerous driving.
R. v. R.M.
Ruben Miller, an 18-year old kid, was out in the early morning hours, on his way to meet some friends at the back of a school. As he approached the parking lot, he noticed that the police were there investigating his friends. Knowing that he had marihuana in his car, Ruben decided to continue driving and avoid a confrontation with the police. One of the police officers saw him drive by and decided to investigate. Ruben was pulled over and his vehicle was searched. The police discovered some marihuana, a scale, and a “flick knife”. Ruben was arrested and charged with dangerous driving, possession of marihuana, and possession of a prohibited weapon. Ruben insisted that he was driving in a safe manner and did nothing to draw the attention of the police. The police officer insisted otherwise. At trial, Ruben was acquitted of all charges.
R v. B.C.
Butch Calloway found himself charged with "dangerous driving". Working at the airport as an avionics technician, it was absolutely imperative that he avoid a criminal record. With a record he wouldn't be able to obtain the necessary security clearance required to perform his job. Butch could not take a chance on being convicted of a criminal offence. Unfortunately, the case against him appeared to be strong. We took a unique approach to Butch's case. By having Butch take certain steps and by providing the necessary documentation, I was able to convince the Crown that, despite the nature of the facts, it would be more appropriate to agree to accept a guilty plea to the offence of 'careless driving' under the Highway Traffic Act - a non-criminal offence. Butch pleaded guilty to 'careless driving' and avoided a criminal record.
