WATERLOO REGIONAL POLICE SCREW UP AGAIN



My first question is why didn't the Crown throw out the charges? Were they pushing to expand the boundaries and maybe get a precedent allowing them easier convictions in the future? This seems especially gratuitous when one realizes how recently another drunk driving case was tossed by a Judge based upon our police violating a citizen's rights.

Roadside breathalyzers can only be applied 15 to 20 minutes after a driver's last drink of alcohol. The reason is they are designed to determine approximately a driver's blood alcohol level. Within 15 to 20 minutes of the last drink there is still residual mouth alcohol which can artificially increase the blood alcohol reading . In this most recent case the police officer knowing the time frame nevertheless ordered the roadside test to be taken prematurely. The Judge later stated that based on the knowingly inaccurate test the citizen was unlawfully arrested and unlawfully compelled to provide two breathe samples at the police station.

The other drunk driving case that got tossed was last month in Kitchener. In that case the driver was refused information that his father had arranged a lawyer for him. The police officer also did not know if his breathalyzer had been recently calibrated as required by law. hence again the Judge ruled that the citizenwas unlawfully arrested and unlawfully detained.

As if the Waterloo Regional Police don't have enough problems you'd think they would be more careful about routine drunk driving arrests. Apparently rules as in LAWS are to be stickhandled around for some of them. Or is it simple incompetence? Is the training inadequate or is it the original hiring in the first place? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The corollary however is: If it is broken then fix it and fix it now! I guess when you are primarily unaccountable and non-transparent you can play these legal games and win most of the time. Every now and then however you get caught. Way past time to fix what ails our local police force. The story in the waterloo region record is titled "Breathalyzer tests tossed by judges".

    I'm guessing a drunk driver got off his charge wow n my son got arrested for being drunk in public place 15 minutes after dropping him off to meet his girlfriend after he worked all day he wanted me to drop him off hiland hills mall no were do they serve alcohol in the mall I said to officer n he dont drink so I demanded a breathe test when I got to police station witch they refused to do and hadn't bothered to go but unlawfully arrested n raped my son cause a officer said he smelled alcohol on his breathe a officer who hates my son n his causing as well as a officer who didn't do his homework my son doesn't drink wow was I pissed n told the desk Sargent the smell if alcohol must been bouncing off the officer cause my Don doesn't drink neither do I so I threatened to sue but instead settled for my son to be released with out breing charged not like they could have made it stick cause they failed to give him breathe test and once I told the sargent my Don and I don't drink they refused to do a breathe test cause they knew they could been suited .Yep I'd say there's alot wrong with our justice system when poor have to put up with being harassed assaulted punched by s officer in head accused being drunk and nit even a apology only poor have to put up with it seems rich people with lawyers get off on charges but when poor inocent people get arrested n assaulted or even some cases shot or murdered by police the police beat the charges what a justice system we have in kitchener
