i hope the crown appeals this.
An Ontario judge has dismissed charges against a Sikh man who was found to be driving with an excessive blood-alcohol level because it took more than three hours for police to return his turban.
Sardul Singh was arrested by Peel Regional Police at about 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 10, 2014, during a roadside spot check. As he was placed into the back of a police car, his turban hit the door frame and fell off.
The turban wasnt returned to Singh until about 10:50 p.m., by which time he had been booked at the police station and ordered to give a breath sample.
In court, Singh argued that his Charter right to freedom of religion had been violated and that he felt shameful to be seen without his turban.
