Re: Failing to stop when requested by a police officer

Section 216(1) is an absolute liabilty offence while s. 216(3) is a mens rea offence.

Section 216(2) articulates a person "is guilty," which indictates the offence is commited by the mere actus reus .

Section 216(3) articulates the word "willfully," which signifies a mens rea offence.

Section 216(1) is unconstitutional as it contains a term ...

Maybe this officer would hear the brake pads coming to a halt on the rotors?

Re: Disobey stop sign - Fail to stop HTA 136(1)(a)

What ever happened to basic driving and seeing a sign (ie big red octagon sign saying STOP and the vehicle doing so) and doing what it says. Certainly if the sign were to say FREE GAS everyone would be obeying that :lol:

I see the other side by what is said, but most offences is getting way way way beyond the basic principle itself into this ...

Re: 12hr vs 3 day Suspension

If a suspect is bleeding in his mouth, his blood is constantly providing a "fresh" supply of alcohol to his mouth, the same as the mouthwash would. I don't see how this wouldn't affect the machine.


Go out on a limb here.....that the alcohol in the blood is at the same concentration as the air from the lungs, as it is already processed from the ...

Re: Interesting reading HTA 172

Law is so vast its not really possible to know everything even if one is a cop. Most people exect cops to know everything, though. .

Got that right....not just a simple ticket book and out onto the road. Carry at least a duty bag (small suitcase) packed with variety of books to look up laws, maps, reports, etc...if I want to branch off for a day ...

Re: 12hr vs 3 day Suspension

You are not understanding "mouth alcohol affect".

Mouth alcohol is residual alcohol in the mouth. This is caused by the last "swig" of beer and then blowing directly into the instrument, where the alcohol is fresh in the mouth, therefore a false/high reading is obtained.

Same can be done with mouth wash, contains alcohol, swish that around, spit ...

Re: 12hr vs 3 day Suspension

Do these machines have the ability to detect the presence of blood in the breath sample? Perhaps I have such poor dental hygiene that my gum's bleed. I blow into a machine designed to test for alcohol levels in "breath". Is the breath sample not contaminated and inaccurate?

Alcohol concentrations in blood are much higher than in breath. So will ...
