This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Doing it right in front of the police

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesday, we look at three stories where people decided to commit their crimes directly in front of the police. These were not quiet attempts to slip away unnoticed.

Facing a dangerous driving charge can be an incredibly stressful and complex experience. When an incident results in tragic consequences, understanding the difference between civil and criminal liability is crucial. A recent case, R. v. Moshfeghi Zadeh, 2025 BCCA 293, from the BC Court of Appeal, helps to answer some questions about the degree to which driving must depart from the norm to be dangerous driving.

Episode 420: Making Alcohol Monitoring Fair – Jan Seminoff’s “My CAM” Program

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee is joined by forensic consultant Jan Seminoff to talk about continuous alcohol monitoring. From ignition interlocks to ankle bracelets, more and more people are finding themselves under strict supervision programs—but not always for the reasons you’d expect. Jan shares how everyday products, medical conditions, and even static electricity can cause false positives, and why his new My CAM Program aims to prevent these cases before they spiral into jail time or custody disputes.

The Science and “Pseudoscience” of Detecting Driving Under the Influence of Cannabis

A distressed man sitting in a car at night with a police car's flashing lights visible through the window, holding his head in frustration.

I’m often cynical of police methods for detecting impaired driving, but I am cynical with reliable science on my side. The legalization of cannabis brought attention to the problem of identifying people driving while impaired by cannabis.

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: When Anything Becomes a Motor Vehicle

My favorite thing on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays is cases that happened in my field of practice, that is impaired driving law. I love defending impaired driving cases. I’ve been doing it for years, and each case is different. Somehow I’m always enthusiastic about reading DUI files. Even better this week, our weird and wacky stories start with one from right here in BC. I went to the Aqua concert recently. They’re the band that sings the song “Barbie Girl”. Around the same time, there was a fellow stopped driving a Barbie Jeep. Let’s start there.
