The accused was charged with dangerous driving following an incident in which he drove away from police officers who had approached his parked vehicle.
The Crown alleged the accused drove in a manner dangerous to the public by accelerating aggressively and nearly striking one of the officers.
The accused testified he drove slowly and deliberately to avoid the officers, stopping at a red light before turning.
The trial judge found material inconsistencies in the police evidence and determined that the accused's evidence raised a reasonable doubt.
The court concluded the Crown failed to prove the actus reus of dangerous driving beyond a reasonable doubt and acquitted the accused.
