11. Regina v. C.B. [Calgary Provincial Court, June 2008]

Client pulled into a check stop and was charged with impaired driving, operating a motor vehicle over 0.08, possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking, proceeds of crime and possession of cocaine. The police also seized (very expensive) S.U.V. This multifaceted prosecution was ultimately resolved by way of a plea of guilty (for which our client received a small fine) and a complete withdrawal of all other drug charges. As for the drinking and driving prosecution the matter was ultimately resolved by way of a non-criminal traffic violation and a complete withdrawal of both criminal charges. Oh yes, our client’s coveted S.U.V. was also recovered from the police.
