Not sure what the cop told him. But firstly he was on private property, so a) you cannot issue a charge of driving with an expired permit on private property. b) he should have told the guy (at most) he would issue a ticket if he drove the car on public roads. c) we have no idea what tone he took with the guy d) the football charge when the other cop had the guys hands behind his back with absurd and criminal, e) punching him when he was face down was aggrevated assault.
You are wrong on all accounts and definitely have not been in any real fights in your life.
a) Vehicle was in a parking lot of a Casino. Public access. Legitimate vehicle stop. Look up the Alberta Motor Vehicle Act. See page 10
(p) “highway” means any thoroughfare, street, road, trail, avenue, parkway, driveway, viaduct, lane, alley, square, bridge, causeway, trestleway or other place or any part of any of them, whether publicly or privately owned, that the public is ordinarily entitled or permitted to use for the passage or parking of vehicles and includes
b) No obligation to tell the guy. It was the female that was driving the uninsured vehicle.
c) There is plenty of evidence showing how aggressive the Chief was. He took off his jacket, took a fighting stance, obstructed the detention of his wife, and disobeyed the police a second time when directed to sit back in the truck.
d) The chief had already obstructed police, was resisting arrest, and thus, had to be controlled.
e) It's not aggravated assault. You writing that it is does not make it the case. Look up the definition of aggravated assault in the Criminal Code, the level of injuries that one receives, and the case law behind it. Chief demonstrated several times his aggressive behaviour. A punch to the face isn't enough.
R. v. Bear
Accused convicted of common assault after spitting in the face of arresting police officer. The charge was upgraded upon appeal to attempted aggravated assault due to the fact that the accused had threatened to transmit his HIV infection via spit before proceeding to spit on the officer. The officer did not contract HIV, as such it was not an aggravated assault but an attempt.
R. v. Carriere
Carriere was charged with aggravated assault after being found to have stabbed another woman in the abdomen. The accused argued that she should not be charged with aggravated assault as the complainant had agreed to a knife fight. The court found that separate from consenting to assault, one cannot consent to being stabbed. As such, the accused was found guilty of aggravated assault.
