I’ve made a number of motions and now I have a pre trial meeting, the officer that wrote the ticket had no authority to do so, in the Quarantine Act here in Canada. Here’s the law;
Powers of the screening officer
(3) A screening officer may exercise any of the powers set out in this section, other than those set out in paragraph (1)(e).
(a) stop a conveyance, at an entry or departure point or anywhere else in Canada, and direct that it be moved to a place where an inspection can be carried out;
(b) enter and inspect the conveyance or any place where the conveyance has been;
(c) open and examine any cargo, container, baggage, package or other thing;
(d) require any person to produce any record under any terms and conditions that, in the opinion of the officer, are necessary to carry out the inspection;
(e) except with respect to a traveller, conduct or cause to be conducted any test or analysis or take or cause to be taken any sample; and
(f) except with respect to a traveller, take any measurement.
Focusing on (e) I believed the officer is in breach of duty, negligence and possible conspiracy to fraud a man into paying a fine of $5750
My concern is I’ve not answered the complaint and the court may dismiss the claim before I can make a counter claim.
I know I can sue afterwards however I feel like I’m better prepared to handle it in this court.
