After 10 years and 11 tickets for refusing to wear a helmet, it looks
like Bill Wilson's day in court finally looms. (See our news item
February 1999). For ten years the Province of British Columbia's Crown
Prosecutor has avoided pursuing a court conviction when given the
opportunity to do so by Wilson. It now appears the prosecutor will be
in court on February 22nd, 2007 to respond to Wilson's claim that BC's
helmet law violates the latter's rights as guaranteed under sections 1
and 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Wilson's most recent confrontation with police occurred in December
2005 and resulted in his bike being seized. The City of Victoria
employed six police officers to complete the operation and threatened
Wilson with arrest for obstructing justice when he objected! Wilson
said he felt that the cops' action was not directed from higher
echelons of the City police force and described the activity as just
"the bumbling of a bunch of Keystone Cops. It occurred only a half
block from (the location of the ) previous incident March 2001 where
they held up their pursuit of a bank robber to give me a helmet
ticket."

Good Luck to this guy.  It because people like him that we still have
some rights.
