Toronto police are getting more backlash then they bargained for after a tweet from the force's Traffic Services division, which busted a fully sober driver for having a joint tucked behind his ear while behind the wheel., in question."Tucked behind the drivers ear when stopped for speeding. Driver was sober and charged with speeding and cannabis, control act offences."
While the cops noted that cannabis is only allowed in vehicles in very specific cirumstances, residents are wondering if this is really the type of"crime" that authorities should be wasting their time on, and why the individual was charged despite being sober.Like with alcohol, motorists in Ontario can't legally have open cannabis in their car, even if they haven't consumed any.
Also, the driver was initially stopped for speeding, a crime that we can all agree they should be pulled over and ticketed for. Sober and not using cannabis, yet the charges anyways. They’ll likely be dropped. Why waste the court’s time like this?!Still, some online seem to feel that tacking on the additional charge for the small amount of weed was a petty move by the officer involved.
