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.
Not. Going. To. Visit.
You’re ok in Alberta, we don’t tolerate this nonsense.
She was NOT driving, the police did not stop her while driving.
So, how can they just go into someone’s house and force them to take a breathelizer test. This is indeed abuse of police power.
Good that she went to court and won her case.
“It was like living in a communist country with no rights...”
Quit electing Canadian communists. We’ve got the same problem here.
“The RCMP then forced her to have a breathalyzer, suspended her licence and impounded her car...”
FBI wannabes.
2 hrs? you could slam down 20 beers in that time or 80 shots
“suspended her licence and impounded her car. “
She needs to win some serious monetary awards too.
That is surprising. Good thing she didn't have to go before an American judge.
According to this disgusting law, 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.
Nineteen Eighty-Four really does exist in Canada.
How did this happen in the first place, did the restaurant report her for being tipsy when she left or something? Or can another driver just not like something you do in your car, and call the Mounties?
How crazy.
Interesting coincidence, just yesterday I had a casual chat with a guy from Manitoba and he called his country communist. He comes down here for everything, even says the food is a higher quality at affordable prices. He recommended never going there to visit.
They may also enter a citizen’s home two hours after they had been driving.
“And do what, exactly?”
>You’re ok in Alberta, we don’t tolerate this nonsense>
Did your Spell Check change the word “Alaska”? #;^)
Breathalyze them. Refusal is a crime in Canada.
But remember! Trump’s the fascist!
Nope, we’re far more redneck than Alaska heh.
