R. v. H.C.

(Calgary, P.C.).  HC was charged with impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle with blood-alcohol exceeding the legal limit in 2008. The case went to warrant in 2008.  Though the police knew where to find the accused, they never executed the warrant. The case remained at warrant status for about 11 years until the accused travelled back to the Province of Alberta for the sole purpose of having the warrant executed. At trial, the accused had many defences, including right to counsel issues and of course, trial delay issue for the 11 year period in which the warrant remained un-executed.  Prosecuting this case, in these circumstances, would have been a Herculean task for the crown. On the day of trial, after Charter Notice was filed, the prosecution was stayed.   As an experienced Calgary impaired driving lawyer, David Chow understands that there are many ways to defend a case.  For a free consultation with a Calgary DUI lawyer, call 403.452.8018 for a free telephone consultation. Remember, impaired driving and its related offences carry minimum punishments, including a criminal record. Why make it easy for the Government to label you with a criminal record?  With that in mind, there is much wisdom in consulting with an impaired driving lawyer in Calgary or in the jurisdiction where you have been charged.
