The law is over 2 years old so nothing new but most people are not aware. This law allows police to enter your home to demand a breath sample, with no warrant and no probable cause, within 2 hours of you driving your vehicle. I know some will say phone calls or tips about erratic driving is probable cause- I say they don't have to prove that. Cops can very easily say they got a tip or a call when nobody actually called. This has nothing to do with drunk driving and everything to do with entering ANY citizens home ANY time they want.

Yeah lots of places in the US have laws like that - you're not allowed to be drunk for a certain time after (or before sometimes) driving. I don't think it gets enforced much but probable cause goes completely out the window for DUI unless you have one hell of a lawyer.
Is Paul Pelosi exempt?
So you can't have a drink for two hours AFTER you drive. Outstanding.
On the other hand, being drunk is now an excuse for committing crimes in Canada...
The moral of the story here is don't talk to cops, let your lawyer be a lawyer.
It's presumably easy to get away with murder in Canada. If you committed vehicular manslaughter, say you were drunk and you'll get a DUI (which is apparently worse than manslaughter) OR just plead insanity if there is not vehicle involved. "It's inhuman to persecute someone who's insane." Insanity also works to help pedophiles.
Every law they've changed or made in the past 50+ years has been to PROTECT criminals from justice. We don't have a "Justice System," we have a control system guised as a Justice System.
There's some pretty high profile murders being released as of late, conveniently before Turdeaus gun grab. I, like many others, can't wait for a TRUE justice system to be enacted and sentences match the weight of the crimes, that will be a beautiful day.
And it's not just the new laws they make up, they get rid of stuff too..
My fav is/was Section 337 of the criminal code. It never went from 14 years to 14 months or 14 weeks, not even 14 days. They just straight up DELETED it.
337 Every one who, being or having been employed in the service of Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province, or in the service of a municipality, and entrusted by virtue of that employment with the receipt, custody, management or control of anything, refuses or fails to deliver it to a person who is authorized to demand it and does demand it is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.
I'll bet it had something to do with the "freemen-on-the-land" guys issuing "337 demands".
It's almost the same as they do here to Tim Poo.
