Canada: Woman breathalyzed by police in own home wins court challenge against new driving laws

Lee Lowrie, the B.C. woman who challenged a forced breathalyzer by the RCMP, has won in court. Lowrie said, “It was like living in a communist country with no rights. Truly, I felt violated.”

The forced breathalyzer was administered to Lowrie in her home by the RCMP as part of the new drunk driving laws implemented by Trudeau’s Liberals.

According to Global, “Lee Lowrie says she was recently at her sister’s home in Maple Ridge when she received a call from the RCMP stating they had a very personal issue they needed to speak to her directly about. She assumed it was a family emergency and invited them into the home.”

Lowrie stopped on the way to have lunch and a cocktail. She then proceeded to her home where she claims she consumed more alcohol. The RCMP then forced her to have a breathalyzer, suspended her licence and impounded her car.

The Trudeau government’s roadside provision allows the RCMP to force breathalyzers on citizens despite any signs of impairment.

They may also enter a citizen’s home two hours after they had been driving.

Canada is a communist country with no rights.

K

So, how would they know, exactly, when someone drove last?

Suppose someone cold sober drives home after a hard day, then once at home, he starts drinking. Now the cops can come in, give him a breathelyzer test and arrest him?

Good thing she didn’t have to go before an American judge.

Yup

, if you’re drunk within two hours of driving and the cops show up at your door, even though you started drinking when you got home, you have to somehow prove you were sober when driving. If you fail to prove it, you’re convicted.

Sounds like they could not exonerate Ms. Lowrie by showing up two hours after she got home.

Exonerate... seems like I have heard that recently.

If that is going to be the new proglib narrative there is going to be "periods of discomforting activity."

Seems ridiculous. I remember reading about this type of thing a month or two ago.

Yup. He has to prove he wasn’t drunk while driving. Failure to do so results in a conviction. This is totalitarian stuff right here.

That picture reminds me that during the basketball game tonight, it was mentioned that Zero had been in Ottawa to visit Turdeau. Now why do you think that those two just had a meeting? We know that Great Britain, Italy and Australian are up to their neck as Five Eye allies in the spying of Trump as Obama outsourced it to them to avoid scrutiny. Maybe he outsources something to Turdeau too?

Two peas in a pod.

Two big Lefties trying to act like they're cool. They're not.

Canadians have regretted voting Trudeau into office. He's been such a huge disappointment as a leader.

Just like Obama was.

It's entirely possible the Obama had Trudeau doing some of his dirty business for him against Trump.
