Weird and Wacky Wednesday: Volume 164

I don’t know about you, but Covid-19 has really made me realize there are many crazy people out there. First, we saw people protest lockdowns and masks; now we’re seeing people protest vaccines and, as a result, vaccine passports. And it was only going to be a matter of time before we saw people starting to make their own fake vaccine passports.

So for this week’s Weird and Wacky Wednesday, we are going to see how some people were forced to learn the hard way that faking a vaccine passport is an excellent way to get yourself into a lot of trouble. And of course, we have the first date from hell story coming out of Florida, because where else.

Covid-19 testing procedures at courts are long overdue but necessary

covid-19 testing procedures

New Covid-19 testing procedures are now in place at courts across BC. Information about Covid-19 exposures at courthouses is now available to the public. Public health guidance has also been issued for courthouses during the pandemic.

I am really glad that action has been taken at last. I have been concerned for my safety and the safety of my fellow court users for a while now. While long overdue, this is an important and necessary step to protect the public, court staff, officials and lawyers from both sides of the courtroom.

An Open Letter to Those Who Say “If You Don’t Want a DUI, Don’t Drink and Drive.”

I know you do not support impaired driving. I know you do not believe that people who are charged with or under investigation for impaired driving offences deserve all the legal support and protection that any other person accused or investigated for any other offence is constitutionally entitled to.

But you’re wrong. And I’d like to ask you to listen, because I want to change your mind.

Can Police Demand That You Remove Your Mask?

I recently wrote a blog post in which I provided some recommendations for how people can survive a roadblock this summer. In that post, I recommended that people wear a mask when approaching a roadblock or interacting with police, due to the way it can protect from COVID-19.

This got me thinking… can police demand that you remove your mask?

Traffic Court Starts Again June 1, 2020… But is the Court Ready?

Crickets.

That’s what we’ve heard so far from the BC Provincial Court when it comes to safety measures that will be put in place in traffic court as of June 1, 2020.

On April 30, 2020, the BC Provincial Court updated its pandemic response procedures and adjourned most court appearances until after July 3, 2020. But one set of court appearances was only pushed forward a few weeks: traffic court. At first, when I heard the news, I thought it would be inevitable that it would be pushed forward again, or that we would hear a plan for traffic court in the coming days.

But we’re now halfway through May and the BC Provincial Court has not released any information about what is going to happen in traffic court in the coming weeks.  …

Reopening Provincial Court While Maintaining Social Distancing

Right now, the BC Provincial Court is looking at options that will allow it to expand the current services it is offering while maintaining a safe environment for court staff, lawyers, judges, and the public. Committees have been formed and are meeting to discuss some options available.

And, as usual, no one asked me! I jest, as there would be no reason for anyone to ask me to join any committee. But as a lawyer who represents only a specific type of case, and deals with the vast majority of driving offences in the province, I thought I would share my thoughts from my specific perspective publicly.

As someone with a non-legal aid and mostly-driving practice, I also had some suggestions unique to these types of files because they touch on different areas than are covered by the people who are committee members.
