Charge of impersonation of a peace officer withdrawn prior to setting trial date. A by-law enforcement officer flashed his badge during an altercation between a friend of his and a third party. The third party reported this to the police and J.M. was charged with impersonating a “police officer”. Defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger was retained. A legal memo was drafted by Joseph Neuberger regarding the offence and definition of a “peace officer” which was provided to the Crown. The client was directed to take a program regarding the parameters of the authority of a municipal officer. A report was then provided to the Crown. After two judicial pre-trials, the Crown agreed to withdraw the charge.
