Kamloops, British Columbia
"She was the driver and lone occupant, and she was arrested after the Mountie spotted a Taser in the back seat. A subsequent search of the vehicle and Gordon-Filatoff’s purse turned up 13 grams of drugs, including fentanyl, carfentanil, cocaine and benzos.
Gordon-Filatoff has a criminal record including four previous convictions for possession for the purpose of trafficking, for which she received a 24-month prison sentence."
Great to read that the system can work. It is terribly discouraging to LEOs to investigate, arrest, recommend charged and have the process interrupted either by prosecutors or justice.
I know some will criticize that the dealer didn't receive a longer sentence.
I'm new to Canada/British Columbia and like the concept of rehabilitation rather than what I was used to in America...long sentences for even using illicit drugs.
There are a variety of influencers in determining length of sentence and the quantity, 13 grams, was a major factor.
13 grams is two level tablespoons.
