The only way the weed would have factored in is if he had been charged with impaired.

I'll put it this way. If a guy arrived to a track day with a bag of weed or alcohol in his cupholder, I absolutely would not run in the same group or session as him. It may not have been proven that he's high or drunk, but certainly the risk is there and moreover there is circumstantial evidence that he is or is intending to be. And that's just with a track day in a controlled setting! The danger is much higher with some random guy deciding he wants to go 160+ on public roads.

I'm pretty sure even the cops don't even care about the weed they just wanted to throw the book at him.

Busted for among other things "driving stunts"?
In NASCAR that's called feature and would be cheered. The driver, the cop who would have pursued him, and those around both of them were lucky he maintained control, wow. |

He was stunt driving and was caught. Pot is legal here he just happened to have it in the wrong spot. The ticket was issued in conjunction the same as any other one would. Assuming he was impaired is not a fact as you have stated. There is zero indication he was charged with impaired so if the pot was in his cupholder, glove box or anyplace but the trunk doesn't make him dumber just for having it in the car while speeding. Doing over twice the limit makes him dumb.

There is no higher (no pun intended) meaning with his being ticketed. It isn't even a criminal charge just a ticket. Having pot in Canada is totally meaningless.

What's stupid is that there are a lot of people doing 100+ in 60km residential areas. I've had more dumb encounters with people the last month than I have in the last year. Cops must be having a field day with racers. |

The FACT he had it in the car does not automatically mean that there is a FACT he was using it. They obviously did not think he was since there was no impaired charge. You can bet that if the thought he was he would have been!

I have no issue with the law I have a big issue with how much credence you give it. It is totally meaningless in the scope of the actual CRIMINAL charges.

For the life of me I can not see how that blurry dark pic looks like anything beyond a normal Ontario plate.
