In this episode, Mike discusses the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal decision R. v. Macfie, 2023 SKCA 39 where a police officer came upon a man slumped over the steering wheel of a truck that was oddly positioned in the parking lot of a grocery store in the early morning hour. The keys were in the ignition and the truck was running. Very slurred speech, intensely blood shot eyes, a strong breath odour of liquor and droopy face muscles were observed. The man also has an unlit cigarette in his fingers and there was a bottle of beer nearby inside the truck. Would you have reasonable grounds to believe the man was in care and control of the truck while slightly impaired? What does your "common sense" tell you? You might be surprised how others might "see" this picture.
