This week on the Driving Law podcast, I speak with Camille Labchuk of Animal Justice about changes to the animal transportation laws in Canada. As you recall from the last time Camille appeared on the podcast, there were changes afoot. She describes whether the changes that have been made were good, bad, or went far enough.
Then, I speak with Paul Doroshenko of Acumen Law about a woman who was issued an Immediate Roadside Prohibition for refusal, despite the fact that she has a medical condition that kept her from blowing into the breathalyzer. We then talk about a disturbing change to the evidence in the Immediate Roadside Prohibition cases that makes the ability to even know what the evidence is supposed to be more difficult.

This week on the Driving Law podcast, I speak with Paul Doroshenko about the new BC Government report into ride-hailing services. The Report has several recommendations, but the most interesting aspect of it is Transportation Minister Claire Trevana’s insistence that drivers obtain a Class 4 license before being permitted to drive an Uber or other ride-sharing vehicle. Paul and I discuss the pitfalls of this and whether this is actually a blessing in disguise.
Then, we share the story of our recent cross-border excursion to purchase the entire surplus stock of Intox EC/IR and EC/IR II breathalyzer instruments from the state of Illinois, why we did it, and what we intend to do next. I also present Paul with a few of the mean Tweets and comments made about our decision, and we respond directly.
