SafeRoads v. WRW

(Red Deer, SafeRoads/DUI). WRW was issued immediate roadside sanctions in circumstances where he was not inside the vehicle at the time the roadside investigation commenced, had consumed no alcohol prior to driving and in circumstances where the off-road ATV was inoperable.  Other than writing and issuing paperwork that resulted in a vehicle tow and licence suspension, almost no meaningful investigation was conducted. This is an example of case where a person was sanctioned at the discretion of police and had his employment put in serious jeopardy in circumstances where a reasonable investigation may have resulted in a different course of action. Luckily, the SafeRoads adjudicator understood WRW's argument and cancelled the notice of administrative penalty (NAP).
