Edmonton’s Catherine Flamond is apparently on a mission from God and that mission includes driving her “pursuit chariot” without a licence, registration or insurance.

The 52-year-old minister of the Church of the Ecumenical Redemption International has filed a constitutional challenge against three Traffic Safety Act tickets she was issued and is slated to argue her case in court on April 20.

According to court-filed documents, Flamond wants a judge to quash the tickets based on religious beliefs.

She argues in her Feb. 27 notice of constitutional issue that the provincial civil laws do not apply to her because she is a Christian minister who is only bound by God, the Queen of England and the Constitution Act of 1982.

According to the court documents, Flamond was pulled over by police in her 1994 Mercury Sable on Feb. 20, 2011, at the intersection of 104 Street and 107 Avenue, after the officer noted there was no licence plate on the car.

She was then issued tickets for failing to produce a driver’s licence and having no registration or insurance.

In a June 13 letter to Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht, Flamond says she had her own plate — made of paper and bearing the biblical verse Rom. 11:29 — on the car, which she refers to as her “Ecclesiastical pursuit chariot.”

She also called the car “church property” and accused the officer of stealing it and taking it to the “City Pound.”

Flamond also referred to a similar letter she wrote in 2010 to Alberta Premier Alison Redford, when she was the Attorney General, in which she included a photo of her “four-wheeled pursuit chariot” and asked Redford to

protect her from the police if she was to get pulled over.

The Church of the Ecumenical Redemption International is a Christian denomination that does not believe in the authority of the Canadian government and wishes to use the King James Bible as the rule of law.
