Wow. Just wow... Police officers in Canada will be able to suspend your driver's license and fine you without a trial and without any criminal charges ever having been filed. This is just crazy! My friend and fellow DUI lawyer, John Hunsucker, recently won a major victory before the Oklahoma Supreme Court, after Oklahoma lawmakers tried to automatically suspend a person's driver's license without a legal conviction. As the court held in that case, "We conclude the Impaired Driving Elimination Act 2 is unconstitutional in its entirety, and we need not adjudicate petitioners' remaining claims challenging either the Act or the Governor's Executive Order."
Canada's new drunk driving law may grant police sweeping powers & strip citizens of due process
