Sit and twiddle your thumbs?

But since you have google it is the absolute answer to all

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?

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dangerous Goods Transportation Act.

Prohibits the transport of Nitrous Oxide, unless the driver has a DGTA certificate to transport the nitrous. Further the vehicle must display the DGTA placards (dangerous goods square symbols located on transports) on all 4 sides of the vehicle (front, back, both sides).

Only legal way to transport under the ...

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 ...

Gully....have not seen you here in awhile. Lat you mentioned you were going to speak to the local MPP....any news from that?

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 ...

Reflections...thanks....just changed my signature as well, hope you approve

I certainly want this site to remain fun and educational from all views! I will be the 1st to admit I have learned things on here and have changed my ways to be more competent.

my understanding in both scenarios is that citizen/witness complaints were the inspiration for the charges.

Both to my understanding were internal investigations.

I saw the newspapers, but also heard through the grapevine about 50th person hand (more than 2nd hand) what happened......so what if anything is truthful on all that? Only the ...

I'm not relying on the cases, I'm relying on what he Supreme Court said about law. Cops must be authorized by a valid law in order to do whatever it is they are doing. Wake up.

Please do not use case law in answers then, OR state why it affects the topic. That is why I stated what I did. When I read case law, I read into the situation and what ...

The instrument that is used at roadside is called an "Approved Screening Device" (ASD)most often is a Drager Alcotest 7410GLC. This instrument is approved by the Canadian Solictor General, and CFS (Centre of Forensic Science).

The Breathalyzer or Intoxilyzer are instruments used back at detachments/stations to get a actual number for how much ...

There is more to just HTA that we have to worry about. We have to follow the police services act as well of a vast array of internal policies.

Wish that were true! We have 2 of our officers charged with this offence while in cruisers, only reason the vehicle was not towed....well actually they were towed....on a flatbed!

In order to be reasonable, seizures and impoundments must be authorized by law. Here, impoundment is not reasonable or authorized by a valid law. The reason for this requirement is clear: under both the Charter and the common law, agents of the state can only enter onto or confiscate someones property when the law specifically permits them to do ...

A Fine is a lot better than this...

Moreover, s. 128(14)(d) directly conflicts with s. 172.

Section 128 provides for a fine of $9.75 per kms over the speed limit when the driver is doing more than 50 kms over the speed limit. There is no licence suspension, vehicle impoundment, prison term etc.

There can be up to a 30 day licence suspension for HTA 128 (speeding).

Although some is a greyish area, why draw attention to yourself and being subject to being stopped until an officer can either look the section up and decide what to do (charge or not). Keep it simple flip a switch to turn on the lights and show them in parking lots and car shows, turn them off on the highway. Might save you extra 15-30min (should ...

Hwybear-did you calculate the speed accuracy from your cruisers odo, or radar? Just wondering, because at the local racetrack(1/4mile), my Garmin GPS was very accurate in giving me my top speed compared to the readout from the tracks timing system.

On 3 different cruisers, 3 different radar units, the GPS reading was 2km/hr higher than what the ...

This week during construction, 2 lanes were closed and traffic was directed onto the paved shoulder......4 cars did not appreciate this slowdown and moved out into the closed portion and accelerated.....only to "drop" into the holes cut out into the pavement. :shock: All received ...

Bear I understand HTA 154, but I don't see anything about solid or dashed lines, yellow or white, merely stay in a proper lane and how to change lanes. Nothing about crossing a solid white line. Comments?
Correct, nothing preventing crossing the lines.......but normally the lines are placed in areas where other offences might apply.....no clear ...

Now, here's what makes it slightly more interesting. After she passed the stop sign, she did notice that there was a cop car that came out of nowhere and followed her. The flashing lights were on, but there was no sound of a siren. She had never been stopped by a police car before, and it didn't occur to her that she might've done something such ...

Thank god I don't work the GTR area.....the mentality of a lot of drivers is just whacked.

If one could get thru to these blocks of concrete (heads) on how to drive it would reduce the congestion and speed up traffic :shock:

- merging people come on and actually merge at highway speeds
- don't merge at the last ...
