However, a police officer who has no reason to suspect the presence of alcohol in your blood can not ask you to blow into an approved detection device if he does not have the device in his possession. If the result is FAIL, the police officer has reasonable grounds to oblige you to go to the police station to take the test by means of an approved screening device, which will determine the blood alcohol level. We intend to challenge constitutionally the power given to police officers to require any driver to blow into a device without reasonable suspicion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Since 2012, the Supreme Court has ruled that it is up to the accused to raise a reasonable doubt regarding the proper functioning or use of the approved instrument. Given the great difficulty of fulfilling this burden, means of defenses are often, but not exclusively, found in the right to counsel, necessity, the time lapse between the arrest and the exercise of the right to counsel, or the time elapsed between the arrest and the passage of the test. With respect to care and control, the means of defense is often the fact that the accused person did not intend to drive and was waiting for someone to drive. Finally, in cases of refusal, the defense is usually the inability to breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>For drugs : <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Police can use saliva drug screens to detect the recent presence of drugs, including THC. Police may require a saliva sample if they reasonably suspect that a drug is in a driver&#8217;s body. The officer may reasonably suspect that a driver has drugs in his body based on objective facts, such as::<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211; eye redness;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211; muscular tremors;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211; agitation; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211; dictional disorders<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">However, in Quebec there is no detection device currently approved. Thus, once the police officer can reasonably suspect that a driver has drugs in his body based on objective facts mentioned above, the officer can make him complete a test of sobriety on the side of the road. If you fail this three-step test which means you had difficulty following a pen that was moved in front of your eyes, you had trouble standing on one foot; and you were unable to walk a short distance while touching your heel with every step, he will have reasonable grounds to arrest you and will advise you of your rights to remain silent and to consult a lawyer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">If this is the case, you will have to undergo an evaluation conducted by a drug recognition expert. The expert will determine if your ability to drive a motor vehicle was impaired by a drug. You will be taken to the police station so that a drug recognition expert can conduct the assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">The Drug Recognition Expert will have you complete a 12-step assessment test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">These steps are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(a) a preliminary examination, which consists of measuring your pulse and determining that your pupils are the same size and that your eyes follow the same object;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(b) eye examinations, which consist of<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(i) the test of the nystagmus of the horizontal gaze,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(ii) the vertical look nystagmus test, and<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(iii) the lack of convergence test;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(c) the split attention tests, which consist of<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(i) the Romberg equilibrium test,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(ii) the walk and turn test,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(iii) the foot test,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(iv) the finger test, which includes having to tilt the head back and touch the tip of the index finger in a specified manner while keeping the eyes closed;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(d) an examination that consists of measuring your blood pressure, your temperature and your pulse;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(e) examination of pupil size in ambient light, near total darkness and direct light and examination of nasal and oral cavities;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(f) an examination to check your muscle tone and pulse; and<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">(g) a visual examination of your arms, your neck and, if you are exposed, your legs looking for injection sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">If the Drug Recognition Expert concludes that your ability to drive a motor vehicle was impaired by a drug, he or she may ask you to provide a sample of your urine for analysis to detect the presence of a drug or many of the following types of drugs in his body: depressant, inhaler, dissociative anesthetic, cannabis, stimulant, hallucinogen, and narcotic analgesic. Upon completion of these tests, the Drug Recognition Expert will be able to determine if your driving ability was impaired by a drug. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Regarding cannabis-impaired driving cases, the major issue is that there is no scientific study correlating the THC level with impairment. Alcohol is a water-soluble molecule, so it is diffused throughout the body proportionately in the breath and we are able to have something that is similar to that in the blood. As a result, we can, with a sample, have an idea of the concentration rate in a person&#8217;s brain. Inversely, THC is liposoluble, which means in certain places rich in fat as in the brain, the rate is higher than in the blood and in the breath . Thus, it is very difficult to establish. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">In addition, a chronic cannabis user always has a residual level in the blood. Although this type of consumer may not be impaired at the time of arrest, he may still commit a criminal offense while driving his vehicle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">In Quebec it is even zero tolerance which implies that a person cannot drive after having consumed cannabis. With respect to the use of cannabis for medical purposes, the provincial Act will undoubtedly be constitutionally challenged to the extent that it prohibits a person who has obtained a legal authorization to consume cannabis for medical purposes from driving. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Regarding the penalties for impaired driving, if the cause is alcohol, the judge may immediately allow the convicted individual to drive provided that an alcohol ignition interlock device is installed in the car. However, if the cause is drugs, there is a total ban on driving for 1 year. We consider this to be ludicrous as the person who drove while impaired by cannabis is more severely punished than the person who drove while impaired by alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ac8e30;\"><strong>FOR ANY PROBLEMS CALL US AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AS WE CAN HELP YOU THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TRIAL.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; animation_in_type=&#8221;transition.slideLeftIn&#8221; animation_in_offset=&#8221;80&#8243; animation_in_duration=&#8221;1600&#8243; animation_in_delay=&#8221;100&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1554221852913{margin-top: -10px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1551315818674{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; border_width=&#8221;8&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeftBig&#8221; accent_color=&#8221;#ac8e30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; enable_first_overlay=&#8221;true&#8221; first_overlay_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; first_background_color=&#8221;#f5f5f5&#8243; animation_in_type=&#8221;transition.slideLeftIn&#8221; animation_in_offset=&#8221;71&#8243; animation_in_duration=&#8221;1400&#8243; animation_in_delay=&#8221;100&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1554386757009{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: -15px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1554386700150{padding-top: 5% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">IN ALL CASES, THE TELEPHONE CALL WILL NOT COST YOU ANYTHING AND YOU HAVE A LOT TO GAIN.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1445534829215{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1445584846742{padding-right: 0px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;]<div data-id=\"mpc_divider-6769d0713de2f6f\" class=\"mpc-divider-wrap\"><div class=\"mpc-divider mpc-init mpc-align--left mpc-disable--left \" ><div class=\"mpc-divider__line mpc-side--left\"><span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"mpc-divider__line mpc-side--right\"><span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1445584856420{padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;]<div data-id=\"mpc_divider-9969d0713de2f85\" class=\"mpc-divider-wrap\"><div class=\"mpc-divider mpc-init mpc-align--left mpc-disable--left \" ><div class=\"mpc-divider__line mpc-side--left\"><span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"mpc-divider__line mpc-side--right\"><span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">CALL US NOW AT<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">514-265-9272.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1554386773596{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31157&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; parallax=&#8221;content-moving&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;30732&#8243; first_background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0.47)&#8221; second_background_type=&#8221;image&#8221; second_background_image=&#8221;27783&#8243; second_background_image_size=&#8221;&#8221; second_background_size=&#8221;cover&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1556741827745{margin-bottom: -15px !important;background-color: #020202 !important;background-position: center;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-31338","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>IMPAIRED DRIVING - Avocats Criminalistes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"IMPAIRED DRIVING - Prosecuted for driving while impaired by alcohol or a drug, we can help you assert your rights.
