Facing Domestic Charges in Ontario? Do These 3 Simple Things to Get a Better Result Faster.

Domestic violence charges are on the rise in Ontario. As Covid-19 continues to take a financial, emotional and marital toll on couples throughout the province, many have found themselves face-to-face with police for the first time. "Must-charge" policing practises have translated into traumatic arrests, long court cases, and painful no-contact orders even where the complainant wants the domestic charges dropped.
If you're facing domestic violence charges in Ontario, here are three simple things you can do to increase your chances of getting the best possible result in the shortest period of time.

Great videos. Pls keep making them! Quick question, how long does a charge stay on record? Does a charge mean you have a criminal record?

[@shaffielaw]

Thanks for your support 🎉 A charge does not mean you have a criminal record. A “criminal record” is the outcome of two distinct processes: 1. being found GUILTY of the charge (either because you’ve pled or were found guilty by a judge), and 2. you’ve been CONVICTED following the finding of guilt. Having said that, all sorts of other information can turn up on what people call “background” or “criminal record” checks ☝🏼

If a no contact order has laid after probation or time will that contact lift?

Someone who isnt me (SWIM, is how i will refer to this person) assaulted someone, complete stranger, no cameras showing the incident, the person saw SWIM run toward SWIMs property but in no way shape or form saw SWIM actually go into the home or even onto the property as there is a row of THICK cedar trees around the property as well as blocking the view from where the assault took place. There is a parking lot right where they would of last been able to see SWIM run (meaning SWIM could have also ran to a car parked there). =*Backstory*= SWIM had his dog with him during the situation. Stranger was upset SWIM didnt pick up dog poo from a no mans land between two fields (waist high grass no need to pick it up) Stranger then threatened to hit SWIMs dog with a stick he had because SWIMS dog was being aggressive because stranger was yelling and screaming at SWIM. SWIMs dog is trained to protect him. SWIMs dog is part shepard, which SWIM then walked away to nearest pole and tied up his dog and walked back over to stranger confronted him about threatening to hit his dog (SWIM HATES ANIMAL ABUSE), stranger then raised his stick in a threatening manner, same stick that he threatened the dog with. SWIM grabbed the stick with one hand and swung with the other and then swung again as the guy stumbled back knocking him unconscious for a few seconds. SWIM went to check on stranger to make sure he was okay BUT when stranger came to he said he was calling the cops so SWIM ran (SWIM has been beaten past recognition by police before, and was scared for his life around officers, has also had evidence planted on him in the past) The stranger then drove to each of the 3 houses in the area around where he lost sight of SWIM (SWIMs mom told stranger we dont have a GSD) The cops then later showed up at SWIMs house asking if we had security cameras. SWIMs mom (who SWIM informed about the situation) was asked if we had a german shepard SWIMs mom said her son does have a dog but its a mutt not a GSD and he hasnt been home for the last 3 days. Cops asked SWIMs mom for SWIMs name (which she gave because she didnt know she could just say no, also didnt want to make it seem like she was hiding something), Cops then asked to walk around the property to make sure no one was hiding out back. Is it likely that SWIM would have a warrant? Is there enough evidence against SWIM?? Would you be able to check for a warrant for SWIM. SWIM doesnt want to goto the police station and get arrested on the spot if he does have one, he wants to prepare first. To top it off the stranger now stalks SWIMs property walking all around it staring into it which has subsided recently, but for months after the event they would do it multiple times a day (assumedly looking for SWIM) SWIM has the license plate of the stranger (incase they need a restraining order) as SWIMs family is scared that he is planning on doing something to them as revenge.

If someone has mental disorder & heavy intake of drugs, the violence of that person should not be charged for punishment but treatment even though the police has put forward with the charges, am I right?

[@shaffielaw]

Extreme intoxication and mental health issues rendering a person incapable of appreciating the nature of their actions are separate legal issues which can be raised in a criminal case. These are thorny and very complex issues in the criminal law. They would require a separate video (or multiple!) to explore.
