The accused told the officer that he did not have a lawyer. The officer reminded the accused about the free Legal Aid service. The accused argued that the officer had improperly steered her towards Legal Aid. The court did not agree. If she did not want to talk to Legal Aid she could have asked to look at a phone book. R. v.
