we are already there -- look at the text crawl under CP24 sometimes (or any news channel, really): "Man shoots wife and child to death in Birmingham, Alabama" ... "Four die in 8 car collision on Miami highway" ... Youtube video of Arkansas state trooper saving kitten on highway goes viral" -- I mean, these are all local stories for their regions (if they are stories at all) -- yet we're bombarded with them every day. So why not a story about someone we've actually heard of. (I just feel sorry for the people of Colorado Springs who have to read news crawl updates about some ex-mayor's wife in Toronto getting arrested for DUI.)Another reason that the entire public record is an atavism that should be abolished. If all we're going to get in the news is infotainment crap about some dead guy's wife, wind up all news outlets and let all information spread by word of mouth.
I think that interlock device is long gone. Was probably court-ordered for a year or two, then if you have no other incidents you can get rid of it.She was arrested in a mall parking lot on the Kingsway. Sounds like Humbertown from the descriptions - are there any licensed restaurants there any more? Either she failed an interlock or someone called police. What's the bet she was arrested in the LCBO parking lot, and it was an employee who called?
I was thinking the same thing -- is no news channel going to mention that it's not the first time? This is from Crazy Town (Google "Neville Channer" to see the page)Someone help; am being attacked for saying Renata was previously arrested - because obviously Robin Doolittle was lying about that (even though she had the arresting officers name). Any other sources?
"In July 2005, after giving birth to her daughter, Stephanie, Renata was arrested for impaired driving. Officer Neville Channer also charged her with refusing to provide a breath sample and assaulting a peace officer. The second two charges were dropped and she was fined $600 and give one year of driving probation."
