Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume 275

I am often attacked on social media for purportedly “keeping drunk drivers on the road.” It’s a little tiring but also consistent with the new more toxic world of social media. It seems some people are simply unwilling to turn their minds to the fact that innocent people are regularly arrested for DUI. This week we’re going to look at some of the tremendously stupid wrongful DUI arrests recently reported. In one case, my close friend Sarah Schielke secured another significant settlement for one her clients that has helped pay for her building. In another, the police have sued the driver they wrongly arrested. In the third the police admitted on camera that the off-duty firefighter was sober but they arrested him for DUI anyway.

Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume 274 Lawyers Edition

Lawyers get themselves into all sorts of trouble. Lawyers are people, going about their days, who are certainly not perfect. And lawyers lead interesting and complex lives because of their particular position in society, bringing them into contact with different people all of the time. And of course, there are conflicts. Most lawyers decided on that career path to do good things for society. The field also attracts narcissists – this is well studied, who may wish to prey on others.

It’s an unusual life, being a lawyer. Bearing all of this in mind, it simply makes sense that there are so many TV shows about lawyers. But truth is stranger than fiction and life is often weirder than art. This week we have three weird and wacky stories about lawyers in the news.

Commercial Driver Points for Intersection Camera Tickets

When the government introduced the intersection camera ticket program and expanded it to include speeding tickets as well as red light tickets, they suggested that this was a fair because as a compromise the tickets would attract no penalty points. The tickets would not go on the driving record of the owner or driver, and it would just be the fine. This was their trade-off for governing people by robots.

But this is not the case for tickets where the vehicle has an associated NSC registration. Allow me to explain.

Kyla Lee on the Mike Smyth Show: Encampments in BC, Dealing with ‘Sovereign Citizens’, & Fake Toonies smuggled from China!

“Can you beat a traffic ticket by claiming you are a sovereign citizen and the law doesn’t apply to you?”

“You haven’t provided me the documentation, you do have a driver’s license. You’re driving with no insurance and the wrong number plates, so you are going to be getting a traffic ticket today and the video is going to be towed, okay?”

“No I don’t agree to that. I don’t consent to any of this, you’re creating a non consensual security agreement on the side of the road without right”

“You guys understand you are breaching my peace, right? You guys are going to try to criminally harass me into your compliance”

“This is happening more often. It seemed to have started to gain traction during COVID, when people sort of were researching ways to get around vaccine mandates and restaurant shutdowns…”

“Nobody has ever won on the basis of making these arguments.”

“…it’s dangerous for people to engage in this rhetoric for a number of reasons, first of all, if you get sucked in this stuff it’s very hard to get out. People become so persuaded of it..”

“…they misinterpreted and twisted it to create this fiction, this legal fiction that’s now being disseminated on the internet…”
