Crown prosecutors won't proceed with drunk driving charges against an RCMP officer involved in a fatal Delta collision.
Cpl. Benjamin Monty Robinson has been charged with obstruction of justice in connection with a Delta collision that killed 21-year-old motorcyclist Orion Hutchinson last year but the two other charges recommended - impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death - won't be going forward because they didn't meet charge assessment standards.
Delta police allege Robinson, one of the four officers involved in the 2007 death of Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver International Airport, left the scene of the crash but later returned.
At that time, he allegedly failed a Breathalyzer test.
The decision not to proceed with the drunk driving charges won't be perceived well by the public, according to BC Civil Liberties Association executive director David Eby.
"This is not going to inspire anybody's confidence that the police can investigate themselves, regardless of how we got there," he said.
