R . v. D.F.

(Calgary, P.C.).  The client was charged with impaired driving and refusing to blow at roadside. Charges were withdrawn at trial.  The charges were withdrawn as a result of a detail Charter Notice filed by the defence.  Impaired driving/DUI cases can be defended using a number of techniques, including litigating whether the arrestee's Charter protected interests have been breached. In a roadside refusal situation, the likelihood of the Crown proving impaired driving beyond a reasonable doubt is often diminished. This is because an approved screening device is an investigative tool only, not a true evidentiary tool.
