This criminal trial addressed charges of impaired operation, over 80 mg, flight from police, and dangerous operation.
The impaired operation charge was dismissed by the Crown due to insufficient evidence.
The court excluded breath test results for the over 80 mg charge under s. 24(2) of the Charter, finding a serious and systemic s. 10(b) breach by the Ottawa Police Service regarding the immediacy of the right to counsel, despite a weak impact on the accused's rights.
The accused was found guilty of flight from a peace officer and dangerous operation, based on his actions in a parking garage, including ignoring police commands and driving dangerously.
