Administrative Offences

Administrative Offences include everything from breaching conditions of bail or probation to failing to attend for court or identification, to contravening court orders, such as violating terms of a driving prohibition or weapons prohibition. Though some may view these offences as being less serious or technical in nature, convictions for these kinds of crimes supply the State with powerful tools to justify incarceration should a person come into contact with the criminal justice system in the future. Courts are becoming increasingly more likely to impose highly restrictive conditions, such as house arrest or curfew along with onerous reporting conditions and abstain clauses, making compliance increasingly more difficult, and in some cases, virtually impossible. 



Due to evidentiary shortcuts legislated in both the Criminal Code and common law, prosecuting these kinds of offences is often less onerous. Defending these cases requires a Calgary criminal lawyer well versed in the intricacies of the criminal justice system.
