CTV News: HRM could implement speed cameras this year: councillor

The topic came up during a public meeting in Dartmouth, N.S., on Thursday, where residents spoke out over excessive speeding on Waverley Road.

“In the past month, I’ve had three near-misses where I’ve almost been hit on the sidewalk walking my dog and carrying my four-and-a-half-month-old son,” says one resident.

Dartmouth East Coun. Tony Mancini says it was just one of many concerns and complaints people living in the area have made about speeding.

Mandatory Alcohol Screening: Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!

Welcome to Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!

In this episode, Kyla Lee from Acumen Law Corporation explores a case out of Saskatchewan that challenged the constitutionality of mandatory alcohol screening. After being required to provide a breath sample without any suspicion of impairment, the accused argued that this random breath testing violated Charter rights. The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal was split on the decision, with one judge finding the law unconstitutional. Despite the national impact of mandatory screening, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the case.

Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume 381

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Fly sober or get pulled over

I love to fly and I am very thankful to our national air carrier for treating me so well over the years. I wouldn’t call myself a nervous flyer. I also really like these shows where investigators forensically analyze air crashes. So every time I fly and I hear the sober voice of the pilot coming on, I am reassured that I will safely reach my destination on a relaxing flight. But of course there are tens of thousands of airplanes flying every day and occasionally the voice of the pilot is not a sober voice.

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays we’re going to look at two recent cases where, thankfully, authorities figured out the pilot wasn’t sober before the plane took off, and then a third where we get to see what happens when there is an impaired pilot on the flight deck mid-flight.

Understanding your right to silence can make the difference between protecting yourself and creating evidence the police did not already have.
