A Montreal man in his twenties is seeking to have a Quebec law struck down that allows police to stop motorists without reasonable cause is being joined in his fight by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.
Joseph-Christopher Luamba is demanding changes to the Canadian Criminal Code as well as the Quebec Highway Code and wants Quebec Superior Court to declare unconstitutional the law that allows the practice of traffic stops without suspecting any offence being committed. The CCLA will present evidence and support Luamba during his case arguing that the practice is unjustified and arbitrary in addition to trampling on Charter rights.
