gerry no I am not whining about not being allowed to drink and drive or speed in BC.
The problem is, there is no recourse under the law to have your day in court or to
defend yourself. We have police in this province especially one that we paid for four
years on salary, who has been convicted of a Crime, and still they can't fire him.
What was the charge? Obstruction of justice, but let us look at the circumstances.
He struck and killed a young man on a motor bike. He left the scene and went a
short distance home to have a drink and return to the accident location. He claims
in court he is an alcoholic and he had to steady his nerves. It is still suspected he
had been drinking so much so, they found him guilty of obstruction of justice for doing
what he did. He also lied.
Same cop being charged with lying in the Vancouver airport case. he is the cop who
tasered the Polish guy.
The difference is, if he were an ordinary citizen, would have his vehicle taken and likely
would lose his transportation and his job, OK, fine. But the cop he gets obstruction of
justice, can't be nailed for drinking because he went home and drank, and returns to the
scene. he kills a bike rider, he gets to stay home and collect his paycheck for four years
and still is on leave paid, and will be until after his perjury case some time later this year.
Everyone in a democracy has the right to defend themselves in court and this is being
changed. to deny that right. This is no longer about drinking driving or speeding its
about the right to a defence.
If found guilty do to the offender whatever they want, but not if they don't have their day
in court.
