AA v. SafeRoads

(SafeRoads Alberta - Immediate Roadside Sanctions).  AA was issued a roadside sanction on December 7th, 2021 for failing to provide a sample of breath to a qualified breath technician in response to a formal breath demand. Though AA successfully applied to have roadside sanctions in a decision dated December 23, 2021, I think the case is important because it highlights the necessity for the Director of SafeRoads to provide complete records. In AA's case, the Director failed to provide a plethora of records contrary to sections 2(d(ii) and 2(d)(iii) of the SafeRoads Regulation.  In the opinion of this Roadside Sanctions lawyer, Alberta's roadside sanctions scheme is specifically designed to disadvantage the motorist/recipient. David Chow is a criminal lawyer in Alberta who routinely handles roadside sanctions cases.  David offers a structured retainer options to permit persons issued roadside sanctions to have their case reviewed prior to deciding whether to litigate the case.
