you really are screwed.
You
could be in violation of the impaired driving laws even two hours after
you’ve been driving. Now, the onus is on drivers to prove they weren’t
impaired when they were on the road.
“It’s ridiculous, it’s basically criminalizing you having a drink at
your kitchen table,” Paul Doroshenko, a Vancouver criminal defence
lawyer who specializes in impaired driving cases, told Global News.
“If
you start to drink after you get home, the police show up at your door,
they can arrest you, detain you, take you back to the (police station)
and you can be convicted because your blood alcohol concentration was
over 80 milligrams (per 100 millilitres of blood) in the two hours after
you drove.”
The politicians behind this need to be hanged.
