There is no place like home
OTTAWA -- Canada's top court will be asked to decide whether public indecency can begin at home. The bizarre case of a B.C. man convicted of masturbating in a public place - his own living room - will be heard Tuesday at the Supreme Court of Canada.
Daryl Clark was convicted of the offence after a neighbour spotted him stimulating himself in his house in Nanaimo.
It was dark and after 9 p.m. on Oct. 28, 2000. A mother watching TV with her young children about 15 metres away could see Clark through her sliding glass doors.
She moved to a darkened bedroom to get a better view. Convinced that Clark was masturbating, she called to her husband.
He described the scene as "like having a spotlight on a person on a stage. He was lit up, completely visible, quite amazingly visible," says a court summary of the case.
The couple, who cannot be identified because of a publication ban, called police. An officer witnessed the same behaviour, and flickered his flashlight at Clark's window to get his attention.
Clark stepped back and immediately turned off his living room lights.
He was convicted of wilfully committing an indecent act in public and sentenced to four months in jail.
The high court will be asked how a "public place" as defined in the criminal code should be interpreted.
Just one question here……… why was this chick so eager to get a “better view” shouldn’t she also be charged for peeping?

Hey mister……. Want some expensive beaver?
GREENSBURG, La.
Beavers found a bag of bills stolen from a casino, tore it open and wove the money into the sticks and brush of their dam on a creek near Baton Rouge.
"They hadn't torn the bills up. They were still whole," said Maj. Michael Martin of the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office. The money was part of at least $70,000 taken last week from the Lucky Dollar Casino in Greensburg, about 50 kilometres northeast of Baton Rouge.
Sheriff's deputies in St. Helena Parish, where the truck stop video poker casino is located, have accused a security guard at the casino of disabling its security cameras. Jacqueline Wall, 25, was booked with felony theft, Martin said.
She told investigators a ski-masked gunman made her help him empty all the casino's safes, then kidnapped her, knocked her out and left her in an uninhabited area in East Feliciana Parish.
Deputies had searched for the money for days before an attorney called with a tip: the money had been thrown into the creek. The lawyer's client hopes to make a deal with prosecutors, Greensburg Police Chief Ronald Harrell said.
They found one money bag right away. The second was downstream, against the beaver dam.
After trying unsuccessfully to find the third bag in the deep water near the dam, Martin said, deputies began to break it down to release some of the water so they could search in a shallower pool.
That was when they saw the dam's expensive decoration.
He said they eventually found the third sack, which still had some money left in it.
"The casino people were elated" to get the money back, even if some of it was wet, Harrell said.
Deputies found about $40,000 , and expected to find the rest in a safe-deposit box at a bank in Mississippi.

Thanksgiving the American way…………
RONKONKOMA, New York -- A nine-kilogram frozen turkey was thrown through the windshield of a woman's moving car, critically injuring her, police said. The bird was tossed out the window of an oncoming vehicle, and a passenger in the 44-year-old woman's car took hold of the steering wheel and guided it to the side of the road, police said.
Police said a group of teenagers had purchased the turkey with a stolen credit card at a supermarket on the same road where the incident happened early Saturday. The teens were being sought for questioning.
The 44-year-old woman was hospitalized in critical condition.

With moms like these who needs out side influences…….. (runaway kid, runaway!)
TORONTO -- Reports that an irate hockey mom lifted her blouse, revealed her bra and taunted fans of the opposing team by shaking her breasts - at her 11-year-old's hockey game - has the president of the league "aghast," reports a Toronto newspaper. "What prompts people to do these types of things?" John Garder, head of the Greater Toronto Hockey League told the Toronto Star. "It's a little disturbing. We're talking 11-year-olds here."
The league has invited the woman to a special committee meeting Wednesday where disciplinary steps, such as banning her from arenas, will be considered.
The incident reportedly happened during a confrontation that erupted mostly between parents of players on two opposing minor peewee teams: the York Toros and Mississauga Terriers.
The teams played Monday night in Mississauga, west of Toronto.
In a letter to the league, one parent who witnessed the incident called it "unfortunate" and "disturbing."
"She lifted her top well above her breasts. (Wearing a bra) she shook (her breasts) side to side," the woman wrote.
The shocked parent, who has young boys, says she headed for the exits soon after with her sons - but ran into the woman again.
The woman claims that the flasher said: "What the hell are you looking at? Have you never seen t--s?"
"Yeah, he's probably seen them on the Internet," she reportedly said, according to the woman's letter.
Parents told the league that the incident happened about three minutes before the end of the match.
The suspect flasher has a son who plays for the Toros, which went on to win the game 4-0.
When reached by a reporter by phone, the woman said she didn't want to discuss the matter.
"That's none of your business," she said.

Hair means everything  WINNIPEG -- You've heard of air rage - this was a case of hair rage. A 26-year-old Winnipeg man was facing five criminal charges yesterday, including two counts of assault, after allegedly blowing his top over what he deemed was a bad haircut and dye job. "This guy was going berserk. He trashed the store," a witness said. The man's brush with the law stemmed from a haircut he received Friday at a city shopping mall, said police spokesman Const. Shelly Glover. "Apparently, he was not happy with the haircut and returned for a refund the following day," Glover said. SECOND CUT WORSE Witnesses said the man had only paid $30 for the $64.20 hairdo in the first place, but a stylist agreed to try to fix his hair. However, the second cut left the client even more displeased. "He demanded a refund and when the salon employee refused, the client threatened him," Glover said. The man allegedly punched a mall security officer in the face and kicked the stylist in the face, Glover said. That's when police were called, but before they arrived the man allegedly knocked over several display stands and caused more than $1,000 damage to various merchandise. Besides facing two counts of assault, the man will also be charged with causing a disturbance, mischief under $5,000 and uttering threats. One witness couldn't believe the fuss. "His haircut looked very good."

Not content with theft alone...............
The fourth stolen vehicle in just over a week aimed at a city building has cops fearing bystanders may become victims. "We don't want anyone injured or worse in these highjinks," police Det. Edward Kuzikowski said yesterday.
"We believe it's the same people in all of these," said Kuzikowski.
A stolen red 1993 Honda Civic with the gas pedal pushed down with a snowbrush came hurtling through Knights Pub and Grill near 118 Street and 145 Avenue just before 4:20 a.m. yesterday.
The business sustained $15,000 damage while the Honda sustained about $5,000 damage, said police.
A few days earlier, on Sunday, a stolen Chevrolet Cavalier, also with the gas pedal rigged to the floor, slammed through the front of Stan Podraza's Wellington Beauty Lounge near 132 Avenue and 132 Street.
And on Dec. 17 around 5:45 a.m., a stolen Dodge Aries blew through the wall of a 7-Eleven beside the Knights Pub. A rock was plunked on the gas pedal and a plastic Santa was placed behind the wheel.
City police Staff Sgt. Brian Nowlan said the culprits behind yesterday's crash may have been targeting the 7-Eleven already again.
"It looks like the car veered off," said Nowlan.
Kuzikowski said the cars have all been stolen from north Edmonton.
Police Insp. Dan Jones said police are also probing possible links between yesterday's crash and a driverless Dodge pickup aimed at the Northgate shopping centre near 137 Avenue and 94 Street just over an hour later, around 6 a.m.
Jones said the pickup, which also had its gas pedal rigged, got hung up on an upper floor parkade railing and didn't hit the mall.
"When we got there the front wheel was hanging over," said Jones. "It appears they were trying to drive it into the mall."
The Winnipeg Police Service has also had its share of similar incidents. The most recent was on Dec. 27 when a car thief jammed a shovel against the gas pedal of a car that slammed into a Winnipeg apartment building.

Those morons responsible should get 10 years in jail !! And BTW, I'm curious on how a 1993 Honda Civic can withstand 5 000 $ worth of damages when the car value is probably less than that ...  |

Shame on u forgetting   OSLO, Norway - Arild Tofte and Kaare Heggdal know that recycling pays, but they weren't quite prepared for the jackpot that a scrapped cash machine contained. It was still full of cash. Enough to buy a house and take a luxury vacation. The two Norwegians run a recycling company in the western Norway town of Aaroedalen, and had been hired by the Sparebanken Moere bank to remove an outdated automatic teller machine from a gas station. Tofte, 30, said the woman on duty at the gas station was more than a little skeptical when two men showed up with a trolley and a truck, wanting to remove her ATM. "She calmed down when I explained that the machine was empty and that we had a contract to pick it up," Tofte told the local Romsdals Budstikke newspaper. During their rounds to pick up more scrap, they got a call saying a security guard was seeking the machine. "The guy was apparently a bit agitated," said Tofte. "He was very eager to empty the cash from the machine." The cash was removed. The bank - which blamed the incident on a communications mix-up - didn't say how much was in the ATM. But Tofte said the guard who emptied the machine told him it was enough to buy a house, take a luxury vacation and still have money to burn. |
