Don Sipes has been stopped by West Vancouver police more than 30 times over the years.  He recently won a lawsuit over his last stop in 2006 (the harassment stopped after he launched his lawsuit), with the judge finding that he was arrested “without any grounds at all”.

The BCCLA has received complaints of a similar nature over the years.  Hopefully, Mr. Sipes’ successful lawsuit will make it easier for others to file similar suits, or even better, will stop the practice entirely.
