Episode 444: Right to Counsel Violations, Tracking Warrants & Impaired Driving Law Updates

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee flies solo while Paul recovers from illness and discusses her new British Columbia Impaired Driving Newsletter, which highlights important impaired driving cases and legal developments each week. Kyla breaks down a troubling impaired driving case where police delayed an Approved Screening Device demand to ask incriminating questions and then misled the accused about the availability of her lawyer of choice. The court ultimately excluded the breath samples due to serious Charter violations. She also examines proposed federal legislation that could expand police tracking warrants and lower the legal threshold for obtaining them, raising significant privacy concerns. Finally, Kyla discusses a sentencing appeal involving driving prohibitions and how changes to the Criminal Code mean time spent under bail conditions no longer counts toward a driving prohibition after conviction.
