I'd bet there are about 10000 Ken Chungs in GVRD. I don't think its fair to post that guy up without having some idea that its him.

Side note, Chung's lawyer, Fowler is on the same cycling club as the late Brad Dean, the cyclist killed in Richmond by Fan.

Goes to show that they weren't friends. LOL. Or that the lawyer is incredibly professional by keeping his personal biases out of his work.

dinfung 06-09-2018 01:30 PM

what i understand is the same guy and the Audi he was driving is from work, is not even his car.

whitev70r 06-09-2018 01:45 PM

If true, how does he still have a job with Audi?

prudz 06-09-2018 03:02 PM

“Ken.... can you tell me a little bit about the crash safety of this Audi? Like...... is it a particularly safe vehicle when people turn left in front of you?”

Then fuck him. Hopefully his next crash is a single vehicle accident.

bcrdukes 06-09-2018 04:55 PM

That's fucked up. :pokerface:

J-Chow 06-09-2018 07:19 PM

Yep. Our laws are truly fucked.

Just look at the article relating to the cyclist who was killed in Richmond not too long ago.

Update: Driver who killed cyclist walks from Richmond court with one-year ban, $1,800 fine

Our system is based on the law of precedent, and that is where our judicial system fails.
Unless there was as previous, similar case that changed it to a criminal case, everybody will get a slap on the wrist for killing an innocent person.

The key word is "Intent".

If there was "Intent", then automatically it'll be prosecuted as Criminal.
But no way in hell, would a defendant admit intent to kill or harm.
Defense lawyer would easily explain that the defendant was under the influence, tired, drowsy, etc ... just so it doesn't become a Criminal Case.

Perhaps, rather than trial by judge, it should be trial by jury WITHOUT the use of precedent law.

just my 2 cents on this shit system.

Jmac 06-10-2018 12:51 AM

Slightly different scenario, though. As stated in the article, there is no criminal offense for driving while fatigued (undue care and attention).

There is a criminal offense for dangerous driving causing death, which is the charge that was brought against this driver.

Another case yesterday where a driver who was under the influence of alcohol caused an accident and killed the other driver.

They made a decision to drink and drive and should be held accountable.

Two years from now they will be in court and we will hear from the lawyer the sob story about the hard times that drove the female to drink and drive, how it affected them emotionally and how they are in rehabilitation.

Let me get this right: you're faulting the police for not being able to make this conviction stick? You do realize the judge is the one who has the final say, right?

The police can do everything in their power to make a case against somebody; but ultimately, if judge ain't satisfied, judge acquits. I'm sure the police wanted to see him get fuked just as much as you did.

The justice system failed us, not the police.

Relevant. Not sure how much use these petitions are but something is better than nothing.

whitev70r 06-10-2018 09:35 PM

^ sent link to audi vancouver downtown and asked all employees there to please sign it.

Nlkko 06-10-2018 10:03 PM

It's clearly manslaughter with criminally negligence.

But "there is at least a reasonable doubt that such conduct amounted to a marked departure from the standard of a reasonably prudent driver." Bitch, motherfucker sped 139km/h on city street???????

This piece of shit judge need to be removed from post.

Actually, it'd be funnier if it was the same person (don't you think) ... which another poster confirmed with relatively reliable source.

If it is not, then the email is just a spam mail regarding a current news item.
