Racism is an unfortunate fact of life but it becomes especially insidious in all aspects of criminal justice. We are currently witnessing in the United States of America how police brutality can manifest itself in racist environments with devastating consequences for blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans. Canadians are also becoming increasingly conscious of the abuse of police power vis-à-vis minorities, particularly aboriginals and members of racially distinct groups. Our criminal justice system needs to respond more forcefully to complaints that police interactions with members of First Nations and visible minorities too often result in escalation, confrontation, bodily harm, and even death.

For example, a person may have reported something to the police that is inaccurate or even misleading and needs to “come clean”. Doing so, however, could expose that person to legal jeopardy. How best then to convey that information?

We all know that driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is dangerous and against the law. What is less well known is that the criminal law forbids people from interacting with their vehicles, whether or not they are in motion, indeed whether or not they are capable of being set in motion, in such a way that creates danger. In short, the criminal law prohibits “care or control” of a conveyance while under the intoxicating effects of alcohol and drugs.
