Miscellaneous / Not Listed Offences

There are certain crimes that may not be explicitly indexed in the Criminal Code but are included in other areas of the statute or are regulated by other levels of government. For example, laws against illegal dumping and public urination may be found in municipal bylaws, while rules related to speeding and other driving offences are typically set by each province. It is important to fully understand the legal consequences of various actions.

Careless Driving
Careless Driving is regulated by each province or territory and is open to interpretation and can include various types of behaviour.
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying can be hate, drama, gossip or trolling and could lead to charges of Criminal Harassment, Threats and Intimidation, and more.
Illegal Dumping
Illegal dumping is not included in the Code though most municipalities levy fines to those convicted of this crime.
Open Liquor
Each province is responsible for its own liquor laws in Canada.
Public Intoxication
Liquor laws are regulated by each province and fines differ. Where and when you can drink in public also varies by province.
Public Urination
Most cities and towns across Canada have bylaws which make it a crime to urinate in public.
