B.C. safety minister suspended from driving for 'excessive speeding'

B.C. Solicitor General John van Dongen, the province's top law enforcement official, has been suspended from driving because of traffic tickets for what he said was "excessive speeding."

Van Dongen, who is also the minister of public safety and is running for re-election as a Liberal in Abbotsford South, issued a written statement Friday, saying he "accepted the temporary prohibition."

In an interview with CBC Radio on Friday afternoon, van Dongen said he received two tickets in the last 18 months stemming from "excessive speeding" on a Saanich highway in Victoria and on Highway 99.

His vehicle was going 41 km/h in excess of the highways' speed limit, he said. Van Dongen told another local radio station that the driving prohibition is for four months.

Van Dongen said he received last Thursday a letter from the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (OSMV) — which is part of his cabinet portfolio — giving notice of "a driving prohibition due to tickets I have received for speeding."

"I will not be appealing the decision and have mailed my driver's licence to the OSMV," van Dongen said in the statement. "I fully understand and accept responsibility for my driving behaviour and believe it is my duty to fully and completely comply with the decision."

Van Dongen has asked the government to have his responsibility for the OSMV and the Insurance Corp. of British Columbia reassigned.

"While I am not currently involved in any active decisions as minister with respect to these agencies, I feel it is important that both my actions and this latest decision do not have any detrimental impact on public confidence in either ICBC or OSMV.

"I fully recognize the importance of public safety and compliance with the law on our roads. The law applies equally to me as it does to everyone else and I strongly support that," van Dongen said.

Round Three

The Canadian Press, 2009
TORONTO - Ontario's top court has agreed to hear the province's top cop argue an adjudicator is biased against him.


Two previous court decisions have gone against provincial police Commissioner Julian Fantino.

He wants retired judge Leonard Montgomery thrown off a disciplinary case against two senior officers.

No dates have been set but the court did direct the appeal to be expedited.

Fantino's lawyer says he will now seek a stay of the discplinary hearing pending the appeal, possibly as early as this week.

Fantino was under cross-examination last fall when his lawyer accused Montgomery of bias, bringing the proceedings to an abrupt halt.

Retired Peel officer facing sex charges!

This is priceless, but tasteless on my part!



April 22 2009
A retired Peel Regional Police officer has been charged with several sex-related offences against a 13-year-old girl.

Halton Regional Police said today the accused and the victim met through an online dating service in October 2008. Police allege that sexual encounters ensued over a period of time.

Mike Chaddock, 57, of Brampton, has been charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching.

He is to appear in a Milton court on June 1.

Earlier tonight, Chaddock said he will vigorously defend himself against the charges and he is confident he'll be exonerated.

Chaddock is the executive assistant to Brampton Springdale MPP Linda Jeffrey.

He he retired from the Peel force as a sergeant in 2004.

Back in 2003, Chaddock received a police commendation from the Police Services Board for making a significant contribution to the police force and community and his "demonstrated continued excellence" in the performance of his duties and dedication.

Chaddock has worked on a number of community organizations, including the Brampton Santa Claus Parade Committee, and was a member and executive director of the Brampton Downtown Business Association. He was active in promoting the popular Motorcycle Ride For Dad program, an initiative that sees police officers and others ride their motorcycles to raise money for prostate cancer research and education.

Chaddock was also the long-time president of the Mississauga-based Region of Peel Humane Society.
