...The fellow with the errant GPS apparantly was not allowed to turn around...as I understand it...apparantly he did not want to enter Canada in the first place. I should think that he should be given a pass due to that fact, if in fact that's what really happened. Does my logic make sense to you about this?

I'm afraid that your logic is irrelevant. It's a matter that will be, and will properly be, decided in Canada under its laws.
Canada is a sovereign country with its own laws and its own form of due process. Anyone accused of a Canadian crime will have whatever opportunities Canadian law affords to mount a defense and/or seek to excuse or minimize his culpability.
That may sound harsh, but it's reality. And there are countries in which someone making a similar error would fare far worse than in Canada.
