Occasionally, the police pull people over who are naked. It happens in Canada. It happens in the United States. Sometimes it happens to our clients. Most of the time, it ends up being a DUI investigation. Often, there is body cam footage and complicating factors due to the lack of clothing.
Of course we are in Canada, so we do not technically use the term “DUI.” Here, it is “Impaired Driving.” But for today we’re going to stick with “Naked DUI” Because these weird and wacky DUI cases all come from the States.
It is worth noting that this is not really a winter phenomenon. Naked impaired driving tends to be a summer activity. Warm weather parties, alcohol, and poor decisions seem to come together when the warm weather hits. January is gloomy. February is worse. So somehow it seemed like a good time to think about summer, sunshine, and the naked truth about DUIs.

R. v. Oliphant 2025 SKKB 4 is a Crown appeal regarding the acquittal of Cam Oliphant, who had been charged with operating a conveyance with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or exceeding 80 mg per 100 mL.
During the original trial, Crown provided evidence that Mr. Oliphant’s breath samples showed readings of 90 mg% and 80 mg% respectively. However, the trial judge acquitted Mr. Oliphant after ruling the approved instrument printout was inadmissible. The trial judge found the document failed to meet the requirements of s. 320.33 of the Criminal Code because the technician’s certification referred to an “attached” printout, yet the printout was not physically stapled or clipped to the certificate.

What really happens when you’re charged with impaired driving or DUI?
In this in-depth interview, a criminal defence lawyer specializing in driving-related offences explains how impaired driving cases are built, challenged, and defended in court. We explore roadside stops, police procedures, breathalyzer and blood testing, Charter rights, and common errors that can impact a case.
This conversation focuses on the driver’s legal rights, how defence lawyers analyze police conduct, and why impaired driving charges are not as straightforward as many people assume.

I love to fly and I am very thankful to our national air carrier for treating me so well over the years. I wouldn’t call myself a nervous flyer. I also really like these shows where investigators forensically analyze air crashes. So every time I fly and I hear the sober voice of the pilot coming on, I am reassured that I will safely reach my destination on a relaxing flight. But of course there are tens of thousands of airplanes flying every day and occasionally the voice of the pilot is not a sober voice.
This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays we’re going to look at two recent cases where, thankfully, authorities figured out the pilot wasn’t sober before the plane took off, and then a third where we get to see what happens when there is an impaired pilot on the flight deck mid-flight.
