The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

This guy is obviously a danger to himself and others, couldn't a JP keep him held in custody for his own (and society's) protection ?

I think it would be an actual judge, as the charges are under The Criminal Code of Canada.
 
100% agree. He'll be back out doing it before the month is over...

A month? His lawyer will be arguing keeping him in Maplehurst for HTA and personal possession is a detrimental to his client's mental health.......and he's supporting a sick mother, too. He'll be out Wednesday.
 
Send your kid to Canada to go to school. Buy him a M5 so he has transportation to and from the university. What could possibly go wrong?

@ 50 seconds: It looks like he'll be providing first person evidence against himself, based on what looks like a rather good camera. First thing they need to do is take possession of his passport.
 
Yeah this feels like one of those moments where the cops should do something and lock him up. Otherwise he'll kill someone and this will come out with all the signs they should have done something earlier but "somehow fell through all the cracks" cases.
Police can't keep people in jail, that's the court's job. Police obviously doing their job if he's been arrested over and over.

Apparently they got a year of pre-trial custody on the books. Who thinks that he will actually get a trial before that clock runs out? It seems strange to me to assign a length of time to pre-trial custody. Either they are convicted and should be punished or aren't yet convicted and should be incarcerated to protect the public. He's not going to be less of a dangerous idiot after a year in jail. In all likelihood, he will be worse.


"On Tuesday, Deputy Chief Marc Andrews said that due to the severity of these offences, Singh’s disregard for his conditions of release and his history of fleeing from police, he was held in police custody for one year."

A least a few bad choices happen here. Crash on 400 this morning that closed the highway.

My wife likes the US interstates that have huge distances between the opposing directions of traffic. I understand but even they have problems.

The trouble IMO is that the court case will be between the police and the driver of the black SUV. It needs to be investigated further back.

Who was their driving instructor?

Did they pay their way through part of the system?

Did they go to an out of town, easy pass location for their test?

Do we need a 400 series highway endorsement for drivers?
 
Unfortunately it's just a Provincial Offences Act ticket. Could easily have been a Dangerous Operation charge, based on what's in the video.
The hard part to get over is the “What if” factor.

What if a bus full of hockey players from Humboldt got hit by the truck and dozens were killed or injured?

But they didn’t.

But they could have.

Repeat rinse

It’s possible the driver has accident forgiveness and won’t see an increase. The fine will be chump change. He gets a new car.

A check of his drivers abstract would show a careless charge that wouldn’t stand out as any different than a normal fender bender.

We need an adder to the charge that highlights the serious consequences when there is injury or damages over $XX,000
