As Dee Brown drove down the Don Valley Parkway on November 1, 1999, he was pulled over by a constable of the Metro Toronto Police and, after failing a roadside screening test, charged with driving over the legal blood alcohol limit.
In what lawyer Steven Skurka calls “the case of my career,” Brown argued that he had been detained without proper cause because he was a black man driving an expensive car.
Skurka will discuss this case and the landmark Canadian decision in a free public lecture Wednesday, March 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Moot Court, Ron W. Ianni Law Building.
