R. v. T.J.

(Calgary, P.C.). Client charged with impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle with a BAC exceeding the legal limit.  Evidence was excluded due to Charter infractions at roadside.  The client was acquitted.  Competent Calgary impaired driving lawyers evaluate each DUI case on its own facts and are never reluctant to file a Charter Notice in support of the client's defence.  It is surprising that after three-decades of the Charter that many breaches continue to occur.  Unfortunately, recent Court of Appeal jurisprudence continues to neuter the Charter; it seems the aim of the Court is to make policing and prosecuting easier.  In other words, rather than demanding compliance, some Courts prefer to weaken the protected interest.  If you have been charged with impaired driving, operating a motor vehicle with BAC over the legal limit or refusing/failing to provide a sample of your breath, contact an experienced Calgary DUI lawyer to evaluate your case.
