In this episode, Mike highlights National Police Week (May 11-17, 2025) and discusses the Ontario Court of Justice decision R. v. Vernaza-Vinces, 2025 ONCJ 257 where police chased a man on foot until he entered a vehicle and fled. Even though the police never pursued the man's vehicle in a police car, the court had to determine whether a charge of flight from police under s. 320.17 of the Criminal Code applied. Or was an essential element of the crime a requirement that the police themselves be pursuing in a motor vehicle?
