Most DUI investigations starts in roughly the same place. A car drifts, an officer pulls in behind, a window comes down, and the next thing you know there is a breath test and a file that will follow somebody around for years. After that, though, the path the case takes can go almost anywhere.
This week features three stops that ended in three very different places. One produced a charge the breath machine flatly refused to support. One produced a charge against the officer himself, complete with a bag of high proof shooters in the passenger seat. And one produced a plea deal so famously Californian that it has its own nickname.
A grab bag of cases, but all from the same opening scene.

Every so often the news cycle delivers a run of stories that all seem to circle the same idea, and this past month gave us a good one. The theme is cargo. Specifically, the kind of cargo people are not supposed to be moving, on the kind of conveyance they probably should not be using to move it. We have a horse, a deceased alligator, and 22 Buddhist monks with 242 pounds of explanation to do at customs. None of these people were thinking about Canadian law when they did what they did, but each story is a useful reminder of how Canadian law would have treated them if they had tried any of this here.
Let’s start with the horse.

There is a long tradition of prosecutors and judges standing in court and asking that the book be thrown at drivers charged with impaired driving. They talk about denunciation and deterrence. They talk about the danger to the public. They ask for big fines, long prohibitions, and sometimes jail. That is their job.
What makes the past few months particularly strange is how many of them have ended up on the other side of the prosecutor’s desk, charged with the very offence they spend their careers prosecuting. Three recent stories from three different jurisdictions show that the people running impaired driving cases are not always the best behaved behind the wheel. The stories also show something else. When a prosecutor or a judge gets caught, they seem to forget every piece of advice they have ever given anyone.
