I recently wrote a blog post in which I provided some recommendations for how people can survive a roadblock this summer. In that post, I recommended that people wear a mask when approaching a roadblock or interacting with police, due to the way it can protect from COVID-19.
This got me thinking… can police demand that you remove your mask?

Police officers use standardized field sobriety tests (SFST) at the roadside when deciding whether or not a suspected impaired driver should be taken back to the station for further breath or blood tests.

While the government approved the Draeger DrugTest 5000 for police use, the portable devices, which test saliva for the presence of THC, are not always reliable. As a result, some police forces opted not to use them and many still rely on the good old-fashioned SFST in drug-impaired driving investigations.

People often come to this impression as a result of conversations with the officer, or inaccurate information given to them by ICBC.
Disputing a ticket after you have paid it can be very difficult. But it is not impossible. Two recent BC Supreme Court Cases identify why it is important, however, to seek legal advice before filing such a dispute.
