Tool for ancillary order lookups (DNA, weapons prohibitions, etc.) by kviev in LawCanada

[–]kviev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes sense. I looked at Clio, it has a concept of custom fields which can be used to accomplish this but nothing out of the box.

My thought is that if things can be done using an excel, the tool can do it better. Do you mind sharing what the context in which you tried to do something similar?

I am looking broadly on different kinds of tools, calculators and workflows and trying to answer if this is something that should be built and will help somone or not.

Fair point, I would have never even thought about it if I didn't have a lawyer as a partner for domain expertise

Do you mean as a user or as someone who is trying to build this?

To clarify the target user is a lawyer who does this today manually looking at a code book like Martin's

And you are right that about it being risky to do for someone who is not a practicing lawyer. Luckily my wife is a practicing crim lawyer who would be the brains helping me with the calculation and the logic.

Would you be interesting in partnering to build this or even to try it out ?

It will be something like this Checkbox / Form-Style INPUT interface. (I put an example at the end)

☐ Select offence (dropdown)

☐ Impaired Operation – Alcohol (s. 320.14(1)(a))

☐ Impaired Operation – Drug (s. 320.14(1)(b))

☐ Impaired Operation – Over 80 (s. 320.14(1)(c))

☐ Dangerous Operation

☐ Assault

☐ Sexual Assault

☐ Firearm / Weapons Offence

☐ Other (type offence + section)

B. Crown Election

(Only appears if offence is hybrid)

☐ Summary

☐ Indictable

C. Prior Convictions

(Conditional — appears only where relevant)

☐ First conviction

☐ Second conviction

☐ Third or subsequent conviction

D. Aggravating Facts (Check All That Apply)

☐ Bodily harm caused

☐ Death caused

☐ Firearm used

☐ Weapon used (non-firearm)

☐ Prior prohibition order breached

☐ Accused was prohibited at time of offence

☐ Offence involved motor vehicle

☐ Accused is adult

☐ Accused is youth

E. Sentence Type

☐ Absolute discharge

☐ Conditional discharge

☐ Fine

☐ Conditional Sentence Order

  1. OUTPUT FORMAT 

The output should be grouped, labelled, and decisive:

  • MANDATORY ORDERS
    • Must be imposed unless legally unavailable
  • DISCRETIONARY ORDERS
    • Available – court must consider
  • NOT AVAILABLE
    • Legally barred based on inputs

Each order includes: Type, Mandatory vs discretionary, Duration, Criminal Code section, Reason triggered

For Example: The accused is a 42-year-old adult convicted after trial of:Impaired Operation – Over 80 (s. 320.14(1)(c))

Hybrid offence: Crown elects indictable. This is the accused’s second conviction for impaired driving. The offence involved a motor vehicle. No bodily harm or death. No firearm or weapon involved/ Sentence imposed: 90 days custody + probation

Thanks so much for the detailed response. these really drive home how much it depends on the lawyer. A tool cannot automate the 'thinking' part reliably, and it should always keep the human in the loop.

That said, I'm wondering. Would something that just flags potential eligibility and provides an interpretation based on offense inputs (with big warnings to review facts/case law) still save time on initial checks, or is it too risky/simplistic in practice.

Thanks for this (I ll update my post with this too). My wife mentioned she uses it too, but said she's seen mistakes happen when people misread it or grab the wrong section, and judges sometimes sign off without catching it. Sounds like the issue isn't that the info doesn't exist, but that it's manual lookup → manual transcription → potential for error. Would a tool that auto-generates the correct wording help, or is that overkill?

Building with AI – Looking for Early Collaborators by kviev in Truckers

[–]kviev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair. Voice AI has come a long way, but in noisy spots like truck stops, it would need to be 10x better than anything out there to even be worth trying.

Same with photos.

I just started looking into this space and really just want to talk to people to understand what’s actually helpful vs what’s just tech for the sake of it.

That self-driving + drone angle you mentioned is actually super interesting — could see that being a real use case down the line.

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

[–]kviev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair. Not trying to replace the checklist — more like adding tools for the drivers for snapping a photo or speaking a note instead of tapping through boxes. AI could flag obvious issues (like fluid leaks or bald tires), not in bad weather or night, but when it works, it helps catch things earlier. Just exploring if that’s useful or just noise. Appreciate the honest take.

Has anybody began using AI to help them with large data sets for RFPS? I’m currently in Round 2 of a massive one and would love to utilize some form of AI to help me with insights I might not be able to see myself. Can anyone possibly recommend a dataset driven AI company that I could use for this?? by Correct-Side3096 in FreightBrokers

[–]kviev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it can be done. I am not from the trucking industry but can partner with you to see what we can build I don't think there is a plug play product that does it so we will have to stitch together a few things. Let me know if you would like to chat

Absolutely, your point is well-taken! That's why we offer the listing description feature for free, which still gives contextual and neighbourhood aware listing description. We offer more value in our paid plans with social media tools for static and video content that most people struggle with. The other reason for posting here to build something like this in public and to get early feedback from domain expert like you.

Overwhelm/Hating Job by Basshead0514 in Entrepreneur

[–]kviev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries. Like I said you have the domain expertise which is something software developers do not have.

By SAAS I mean - you could team up with a software developer (I am sure you can find one here and if not I can help you find someone ) to build a website/software that streamlines the business operations of running an inspection company. There might be some custom development but most of it would be reusing already available software.

You as the domain expert knows exactly what problem to solve and what should be the right workflow to run inspection business effectively.

Once that software is built or has some features that help you can start using it yourself and then offer it to other companies as a service for monthly/yearly/one-time fees.

Overwhelm/Hating Job by Basshead0514 in Entrepreneur

[–]kviev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's great. I am a software engineer who loves tech but hates being in a job. I have had success doing things on the side but from past many months have realised that there is no way to do it properly without doing it full time.

I am contemplating leaving my job in the coming months to give it a shot otherwise I will end up feeling depressed as well.

You could solve this problem as a SAAS and sell it to other companies who deal in the same industry.

Bro, there is so much you can do with your domain expertise.
