About this episode

The episode discusses plea deals, AI's impact on law, privacy issues with surveillance technology, and features a traffic violation case.

This week on Driving Law, Paul Doroshenko is joined by Arkansas DUI lawyer and former police officer John Collins for a discussion about when it makes sense to reject a prosecutor's plea offer and take a case to trial. They also examine how AI is changing legal practice, the growing privacy concerns surrounding Flock licence plate recognition cameras, and what happens when surveillance technology advances faster than the law. Plus, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week features a learner motorcyclist caught travelling 177 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on BC's Sea to Sky Highway.
