Random breathalyzer tests considered for Canada
The Conservatives treating everyone as a criminal until proven otherwise."The federal justice minister is considering a new law that would allow police to conduct random breathalyser tests on drivers, regardless of whether they suspect motorists have been drinking.
Justice Minister Rob Nicholson raised the prospect recently at a meeting of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, according to MADD chief executive Andrew Murie.
If random testing were to be adopted, it would be a major change to Canada's 40-year-old breathalyser legislation, which stipulates that police may only administer a test if they suspect a driver has been drinking.
