Are Standardized Field Sobriety Tests effective in predicting cannabis impairment?

standardized field sobriety tests like the walk and turn are not always effective

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.

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.
