Weird and Wacky Wednesdays Volume 318

A chaotic scene at an airport runway during sunset, with multiple police cars chasing a car speeding across the tarmac

After a magical week at Disneyland (which was a rare and much-needed break for me), I’m gearing up for a one-week course in Chicago. But my travels got me thinking about airports and the strange things that can happen when people get behind the wheel in places where they really shouldn’t—like on airport runways. This week’s Weird and Wacky is all about women who somehow ended up driving on runways. Coincidence? Or maybe too many cocktails on the plane? Let’s dive into these three runway-driving escapades.

Don’t Believe the Hype: Cannabis Legalization and the Myth of Increased Traffic Injuries

cannabis-driving

Since the legalization of recreational cannabis, there’s been a wave of fear-mongering about its impact on road safety. But is there really a link between legalization and a surge in traffic injuries? A systematic review published in the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine suggests otherwise.

Body Cameras: Fool’s Gold in the Fight Against Police Violence?

camera-court

We’ve all heard it before: “Body cameras are the answer! Transparency! Accountability!” These buzzwords echo through the media every time another horrifying video of police violence surfaces. Politicians pat themselves on the back for throwing money at body camera programs, and even some civil liberties groups have bought into the hype, calling them a win-win for everyone.

But as a criminal lawyer who sees the inside of the system, I’m here to tell you: don’t believe the hype.

Weird and Wacky Wednesdays Volume 317

This week, we’re diving into stories of police officers who broke the law they were supposed to uphold. And if you’ve ever tried to Google “cop arrested,” you’ll know it’s a useless search term—after all, “arrested” pops up in nearly every crime story. But if you search for “cop arrested suspended,” that’s when you find the stories we’re talking about. Why? Because every time a police officer is arrested, they get suspended from duties while the case awaits court resolution. Here are the highlights of some officers who ended up on the wrong side of the badge.

Could Your Body Be Brewing Its Own Alcohol? Shocking Implications For DUI Cases

dui

As a DUI lawyer, I’m always on the lookout for information that could lead to false DUI convictions. And let me tell you, this recent study on auto-brewery syndrome, also called gut fermentation syndrome, has sent shockwaves through my understanding of DUI cases. The implications of this research are staggering, potentially turning our understanding of intoxication on its head.

What if I told you that your body could be producing its own alcohol, enough to potentially register on a breathalyzer test, without you ever taking a sip of beer, wine, or liquor? That’s the baffling reality that some people with auto-brewery syndrome face.

This isn’t some fringe theory. The study, published in the scientific journal Laws, highlights how scientists have known about the connection between gut health, diet, and internal alcohol production for over a century.

Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume 316

We all hate traffic cameras. They catch us in moments of inattention, slap us with fines we didn’t ask for, and do it all without a human touch. It feels like an invasion of privacy—an automated system designed more to squeeze out cash than to make us safer. But while most of us grumble and pay the fine, some people take their frustration to the next level.

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays, we look at those who have taken their hatred for traffic cameras a little too far.

Huge News: Landmark BC Supreme Court Decision on Photo Radar Evidence

gardaworld

The recent decision in R. v. Corporation Gardaworld Services Transport de Valeurs Canada (2024 BCSC 1754) represents a significant shift in the use of photographic evidence in traffic violation cases in British Columbia, particularly those involving speed cameras and red light cameras.

The ruling by the BC Supreme Court redirects the approach lower courts have recently taken, which has often been skeptical of relying solely on photographic evidence when key details, such as the jurisdiction of a license plate, are unclear.
