Impaired Driving Charge Defense
Summary
In Ontario, if you believe police used excessive force or breached your Charter rights during an arrest, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD). Document all details, gather evidence, and consider seeking advice from a community legal clinic. If video evidence provided by the police is edited, request the unedited version formally. If not provided, file a motion with the court to compel disclosure. Draft the motion by stating the necessity of the unedited video for a fair trial, attach evidence of previous requests, and serve it to the Crown Attorney. Legal aid services may be available to assist you without cost.Full Conversation
