R. v. O.M.O.

(Okotoks P.C. - Impaired Driving/Over 80).  OMO was charged with impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle with blood alcohol at/over the limit. The traffic stop was made in High River, Alberta, where the accused was charged. The Court jurisdiction for High River is the Provincial Court of Alberta in Okotoks at 98 McRae Street.  The accused had defences under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and facing a minimum punishment, including a potentially life stigmatizing criminal record, the accused was not unlike so many others who needed to protect both his lack of criminal record and a job, forced into pleading not guilty and setting the case for trial. In support of the case, defence counsel filed a Charter Notice. As a result of the Charter Notice, the accused successfully defended the charges.  Charter Notice is required for any case where the accused is seeking Constitutional relief.
