I was asked to blow into a field test unit after I admitted that I came from a bar and had 2 drinks. After I blew, they said that I wasn't blowing hard enough. So I blew again, and again, and again, eight times. Finally, I said that I was done. They did not get the results that they wanted and the supervisor, who showed up at the scene, along with 5 patrol units, was just being an ass. I am a businessman and I was totally cooperative and business-like. After I refused to blow again, they charged me with failing to blow, then they didn't show up for the trial. The whole thing was dropped. But in the meantime they arrested me for about an hour, suspended my license for 30 days and impounded my car. Overall, it cost me about $11,000 to sort this out. The money is not a big deal for me, as I am well off. But it pisses me off that they pulled this whole thing. If it had been someone who could not afford the costs, the cops would have them over a barrel. After the dust settled, it made me wonder if it had anything to do with me turning in a guy whom I was aware, was selling steroids to the cops. I figured that no one wants a cop with roid-rage on the streets, armed and dangerous. So I reported that this guy was selling illegal steroids to the RCMP in my town. Since this incident, my respect for police has tanked. I beleive that Canada should also change the law that allows them to pull you over withouut probable cause.
My friend and I were on our way home and were pulled over during an alcohol test stop. The cop said to my friend, “Anything to drink?” She said, “No thanks, I’m driving.” We’ve laughed about that for years.
I was pulled over in a checkstop when young. The RCMP officer asked if I had been drinking, and I honestly said I had a couple. My friends were blotto. He shook his head, said "you are too honest, get them home safe" and waved me on.
So these are helpful tips for when you get pulled over for a suspected DUI! I’m sure if the person does get pulled over for that reason they’ll immediately recall this video and exactly what you’ve outlined. Usually they are beyond making any sense at all and argumentative and can’t follow simple guidelines. Good luck on that.
Thank you Kruse! Question about @2:35, I want to make sure I understand the normal process. Road side testing (field or breath, or other)... if they have concerns they take you to the station. It's at this point, your rights will be read and calling a lawyer like Kruse Law is very much in your best interest. OR - does the read the rights at the road side? When do we have an opportunity to engage you?
as far as i am aware the only "test" that is required to be taken in Canada is a breath sample in a few provinces because refusal to blow is treated as an automatic DUI. The other tests do not carry the same penalty as they are not based on science but rather crude chance and probability as pulling over 100 sober drivers would result in 10-20 convictions if they were all forced to do a series of 3 random sobriety tests. Take for example the "alphabet backwards test" and google it yourself to see if anyone can do much past 10 letters without a complete fail. A significant amount of people will and do fail that.
Here's a question : I'm in rehabilitation for a stroke and would absolutely fail roadside tests. (Still clear to drive per MOT...) Refuse any tests that I can't do successfully?
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, my wife is. This IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. If you tell the cops the reason you are refusing roadside tests, most are decent enough to figure out another safer way. My father is disabled (not stroke) and and I've watched him pull this many times successfully. While sitting in the car he does not look disabled.
You know how they say most lawyers are working for the system? Even when they’re on your side you can bet they won’t give you the most true advice. This channel feels a lot like that.
@@WormBurger I am recovering ( MAYBE) from cancer, I have a disabled card on my dash. I have lost over 60 pounds in 3 months. I'm weak as a kitten, so thin that I just had a nasal feeding tube removed from my nose. If I were to take the test, I would fail ...but I was told to take the test, fail it and then let the breath test clear my name, because at the station where there are lots of cops around is the best time to express your poor health...plus, there are no body worn cameras on cops in my city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada...but there are cameras at the station. PS: Never, never disclose any type of medication that you are taking, because even over the counter drugs could be used against you if you admit to having them in your bloodstream. I have so many dam needle scars from blood work and chemo that my I look like a junkie to a cop.
I got pulled over one time in February. I had an old plate on my car (i picked up the new one a couple days earlier and it was in my car but we were in the middle of a brutal cold snap so I hadnt put it on yet). I had 2 drinks while playing pool and got pulled over for the expired plate while driving home. Officer could smell alcohol but could tell I wasnt impaired and it was so cold the roadside breathalyzer wouldnt operate. He let me go without any hassle. I took that as my get out of jail free card. Dont drink and drive and have all of your car info up to date. I gave all the power to that RCMP officer and im thankful that he wasnt a jerk. He had me if he wanted.
It’s to start a conversation and see if there is a smell of alcohol off your breath and any signs of slurred speech. This will give them probable grounds to go further in their investigation.
It's fine until it isn't. Was recently stopped by a conservation officer because she thought I was running away from her... ie.. they were bored. When I explained I live a mile and half down the road and I was headed home the look I got back was just stunned. I repeated 3 times, gave the township Road number and everything which was also on my licesne she had in her hand. She still didn't get it and said she was confused. . I finally just said you are a waste of my time and am I free to go. I was and drove off lol. Like is part of being any form of law enforcement to have the IQ of potato? Yes it is
The best advice I could give to someone is hire a lawyer who specializes in DUI cases, it will cost you but they really know what they're doing. My lawyer knew exactly how to fight my case the minute he looked at the paper work and yes, he won.
I have a question regarding the new law that every traffic stop now requires the office to do a roadside alcohol test. I would love if you did a video on this topic.
The first question that they always ask at any roadside check stop is "have you had anything to drink tonight?" Do you have to answer that? Usually my answer is "no" (and it's usually, most of the time, the truth). But do I have to answer at all?
No, but then you give police reason to detain you. So, that becomes a forced knock and talk. I believe you can be detained legally for up to 24 hours. So, take your pick what is worst? 🤔🤔🤔
You have 2 choices really. You can lie to an officer which has penalties, or you can admit to drinking which also has penalties. You gotta quickly evaluate the pros and cons of each penalty and pick you best move. Do not arouse contempt and you can fly under the radar 99% of the time. BuT WhAt AboUt tHAt 1%? It's called a gamble for a reason.
This really is the question folks should be asking. They way law is now they are going to make you blow regardless what you tell them, and they love to catch you in a lie - it seems to give them moral ground to throw the book at you. That said I think the best response is "I had one after lunch/dinner a few hours ago.." The hope is that the little bit of honesty and downplaying the situation will persuade him to wave you on.
@@TheRealFoonus never admit to having a drink. Instant suspension. They are going to throw the book at you anyway, make them work for it. The way the law operates in the real world (as evidenced) is that your guilty before innocent. So if the police can lie to you, it's only fair you can lie to them. The punishment isn't much worse. Just don't lie in the courtroom. Because that's where it really counts.

My balance was affected by Covid. I could be 100% alcohol and drug free and would fail any field test involving balance, walking a straight line, etc. How should I handle that during a stop?
the only demand they will make is with the blow device. as far as i have been informed refusing tests where 10-20% of people will ordinarily totally fail them like the alphabet backwards test is not mandatory and will be destroyed in court. a child could destroy that argument in court a lawyer wants you to make mistakes by doing the tests so they can make money arguing about how useless the tests are. if you refuse the unscientific evidence the DUI guy in the states says "Dont Do Field Sobriety Tests" because lol dude IF THEY HAVE TO ASK.... what makes you think doing ANYTHING they ask you will get you out of it?
I was driving home from work at 10.30 pm one night it was a country road. The next cross road had an old school house at the intersection. It was well barrackaded and owned by a biker gang. Someone with a bright flashlight was flagging me down. The person with the flash light made sure it was right in my eyes. He said he was police and roll my window down completely as I'd only opened it about an inch. I couldn't see his face or what he was wearing. I must admit I didn't believe him. I told him to take note of my license plate and I would call the local station when I got home. I got home, called and was told it wasn't police. They had no idea what was happening. That was years ago before cell phones. I think I was lucky. I would do that again. Dark road, single woman, I always save me first. In the dark nobody gets my details unless it is through the glass.
Another "trick" is to shield your eyes and squint when the flashlight aims at your eyes. A drunk person stares at the light a second or two longer like a deer. Skilled alcoholics squint immediately from practice.
The Roadside Sobriety tests that include walking a line, looking at a moving pen, hand to nose etc, have been proven to be highly subjective and therefore officers “looking” for a finding can get one that way. Even if you are totally sober. Would it not be better to refuse those tests as invalid but agree to blow or blow at the station? Not all officers go strictly according to Hoyle. What do you think?
What's your take on the new practice out west (Sk): any traffic stop, regardless of the reason, requires a sobriety test (breathalyzer). My tail light is out. Blow into this, sir. How the actual hell is this not a violation against us?
That law has not gone to supreme court yet along with up to 2hours after driving but when RIDE got approved they had to have reasonable suspicion and they don't have it for a broken light thus a violation. But till a rich doctor or lawyer gets charged we a lowly Canadians have to put up with the piggies abusing us.
Canada despite what a lot of people say and think is not a free country, we are under strict codes of conduct enforced by the crown on us and if we fail to be obedient it is considered criminal and they will strip you of your pride and dignity in an instant. Medieval peasants were less oppressed than the current subjects of Canada. The dominion still owns all the resources, all the big industries, all the major manufacturing capacity, all the infrastructure, all controlled by lineage of oligarchs who make the rules for the common person to abide by.
@@DEVINROWLANDSON From an old geezer, I have said since high school days that Canada is the most over-regulated country in the "civilised" world. When you talk about "the dominion" and "all the resources", it reminds me how pissed I am and always have been that "the Crown" automatically owns EVERY square metre of ground not owned by a private citizen AND HOW UNQUESTIONING CANADIANS ARE!
Always concerned being stop. I have a middle ear replacement and since that operation, I sometimes have difficult with balance issues, especially standing on one foot or toe to heal walking I tend to wobble…my scars behind my ears won’t help..lol
Question: I've had this happen both times I got a roadside DUI test (I don't drink, so both times I blew zero). Both times after the test, the cop hands me the plastic tube from the device. What happens if I refuse to take that plastic tube?
Field sobriety tests are not authorised for 65 and over according to the Iinsurance Institute for Highway Safety (the trade groups that codified these tests) in the US. Same as in Canada?
At a ride check I was asked where I was coming from. I asked the cop if I was required to answer that question as it seemed to violate my privacy. She said yes since it would help them ascertain if I had been drinking. I replied that I could drink anywhere and that I had not been drinking and again her question was a violation of basic privacy. It ended with her shining her flashlight in my face and car interior then sending me on my way.
Does the law distinguish between self defense from humans vs self defense from animals. I've been charged at by quite a few dogs, bitten twice. So I carry a knife for those reasons. Am I safe from charges?
Question for Kruse Law: Where is it written that a driver must also show registration? I have never been able to find that. I know that you must show your licence and proof of insurance.
@@TYRONE_SHOELACES As I said before, I have never been able to find it and I can only guess that people like yourself accept (assume?) it as a "known law" WITHOUT EVER HAVING SEEN IT WRITTEN.
@@gerryc3112 It is a traffic law, not a criminal type law. You get fined for not having it. You have to prove that the car is yours and if it's not yours, the paper shows who does own it...remember, these laws were in place before computers in cop cars of course. I got stopped the other day and the cop's computer popped up my photo ID of my driver's license, and he then knew my license was out of date, it's really just a formality now, but they all still do it. The law would be found in "The registry of motor vehicles" in Canada. . . That is where all driving laws are found.
@@TYRONE_SHOELACES I don't mean to be splitting hairs, but I believe that you have to prove that the vehicle is registered, not prove ownership. I can drive ANY vehicle on the road as long as it is registered.
Ok, what if while or because of the sobriety test, you catch a deadly disease? Can you sue the police for giving it to you? 2nd Question: the police tow your vehicle to be impounded, but the tow truck driver has a taken a personal dislike you you. Then take your vehicle on a toll highway and drives for miles in circles. Do you have to pay the company that owns the toll highway or the driver of the tow truck?
@@dutchv157 Not true in the slightest! You are brain washed by morons. Stop being such a gullible little twit. Holy jebus where do you people come from? Besides Alberta.
I have no problem doing the breathalizer test but I would surely fail the field sobriety test. I am 75 years old and have medical issues after being in a coma after suffering a heart attack. I also am on a regimen of pills as well. I am just curious if I should disclose this information because I don't trust any police officers.
Years ago I visited a ladyfriend 1 hour's drive from my residence and I was stopped for a sobriety test, 3 or 4 times. Once I was asked by the officer: "Where are you coming from?" A number of smart-alecky remarks whizzed through my brain in seconds, but I decided to play it civilized on the premise that he probably gets a lot of crap and static from the public. So I asked this officer: "Why do you need to know this, officer?" Boy did this cop fly off the handle! But nary a word about his right to ask questions. He said in effect that he wanted to know if I had been to a drinking establishment. I replied that I had already affirmed that I had not been drinking alcohol. He grumpily waved me on. Same route another time a woman officer tried to engage me in small-talk. I politely informed her that this was inappropriate for an armed representative of the state government. "We are trying to be nice" she said and waved me on. If I were to get stopped again for similar reasons and asked a similar question I'll simply point my thumb to the back and say: "From back there".
I was calm and polite this whole thing through. Cops had a dui check point set up. I stop, asked if I had anything to drink, I said I don't and wont reply to any of your questions, clearly I am 100% sober, I was told to pull over to the side, cops walks up to my window and asks me to blow in the tester, I ask why, Its a DUI check point sir, I ask do you have a suspicion I have been drinking and if so what are your suspicions, You don't want to reply to my questions so you are suspicious, I say I don't want to take your test what happens if I don't, I will tow your car and arrest you in Canada you are required to do this test when asked, I say OK but I would like to know what threshold you have to meet to ask someone to do this test so I understand why I am doing something against my will with the threat of jail if I don't, They did not reply and just asked if I would be blowing. I did and it was a 0. I was told I could leave the area. What I don't like about this is I did not want to do the test and they had no reason to ask me to do it.
This lawyer you are watching just said do not be confrontational ? Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) requires drivers to provide a breath sample during every traffic stop on OPP-patrolled highways in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This is part of the OPP's Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) policy, which aims to reduce impaired driving.
I know I have a balance problem, but it isn't under medical treatment.. I have no documentation. I also have poor lung capavity due to constant allergies... I feel that I would be so screwed.
I have to laugh when I get stopped in R.I.D.E. stops. I am a white-haired old guy and I tell them that I've been a tee-totaler since I was 22. That blank look that I get from the cops is comical and then I have to explain it to them. Don't they use that expression anymore? hahaha
Failing to give a proper breathalyzer is not an excuse. As someone who’s officially taken them in a non-law enforcement role, it takes a concerted effort on the person providing the sample to get a proper reading (although I’m sure it’s improved by leaps and bounds by now). Getting a decent one in a combative situation has to be respected imo. Blow very long and hard, or it isn’t „cooperating“. No participation ribbons for this one.
oh that's simple you can cooperate and say "fk-u" or not cooperate which is worse and say _"I don't answer questions"_ as the Former Answer at least leaves the room of claiming that the question offended you LMFAO
@@colind7678 if you remain silent they will start asking other questions there are of a higher order of being demeaning like "ARE YOU OK" which is one giant step towards them either legally having a reason to enter your car or merely asking you to step out of the car which also allows them to further investigate regardless of any protests of the sort due to the initial "failure to communicate" lol. Lawyers would love for you not to answer at all, because that's how they get paid whether you win or lose. This is why releasing videos like this is so important. Nobody gets straight A's in school, someone is going to get it wrong (whether sober or not!) but the bottom line is YOUR LAW PRACTICE'S NAME GETS OUT THERE SO YOU CAN COLLECT $$$ LOL.
Our DUI laws has even gotten worse. There was a new law passed not long ago, that , if a person calls the cops on you while you were driving , and even if you did not have anything to drink, once you got home, you start to relax and have a beer of wine or what ever else, then the cops can come by within 2 hours of the call, and then demand a breath test and you either refuse or you take it and if you fail it, you are arrested and charged for a DUI. Then you go to court and have to proved that you were not drinking and driving .What type of BS LAW IS THIS.This law should be challeged in court.
This law is true here in BC. Simple way out is to not acknowledge the police knocking at the door, peeking out the window, talking to the cops through mailbox etc etc. This doesn't work if your spouse answers the door and says you're sleeping. I had a friend get tackled in his bedroom and got arrested for dui and damage to property (he was hammered and took out a stop sign lol).
@@HotmodCanada That is true. The police broke the law, when they went into the house and went into your friends bedroom to arrest him. If they did not have a arrest warrant, then this was illegal .
I live outside the city and if the RCMP pull me over at 23:00 and want me to do a field sobriety test, I have to get out of my car and do that for them? Cuz I'm not doing that. The middle of nowhere is the perfect place to abduct someone.
How would they have been charged? A woman told me once her and her gf got stopped (they were both drunk). Her gf was driving, and she ran off. So this woman was told to blow, and she refused because she wasn’t driving. She got a dui.
I don't think you're allowed to ride a bike drunk in Canada. It's not a motor vehicle but it's a "conveyance" so it's illegal. You can't be drunk on the city bus or the subway either (public intoxication.) A taxi is a private business so you can get a cab home, of course the cab driver has to be sober :)
I STILL didn't get the answer here that I have been trying to get for so long. I read that if I end up in the station and I'm being interviewed by the DRE officer, part of that DRE process is sitting there and being asked, when was my last drink, how much food did I consume and when did I do it. . . well, THAT is part of the DRE exam, so if I exercise my rights not to speak, will I be charged for refusing the DRE part of the DUI test? .... I don't know. I know that I can talk to a lawyer before my breath test and DRE exam, but what if the dam lawyer is young and stupid and tells me to not say a word and now I'm charged with refusal.....
You absolutely have to turn into a circus clown in the middle of the road when asked by the police in Canada? I didn't know that. To be honest, I haven't seen anyone do FST in Canada before. Maybe the breathalyzer is standard here?
If you are stopped on the Trans Canada you have the right to request to converse in either official language. If they don’t speak your chosen language then too bad for them.
Great video. My brother had an encounter. He wasn't drunk but was treated like he was. He had no clue what to do. When you say don't answer? How does that go. Officer says "how much have you had to drink?". You blank stare him? Say "no comment"? Raising the officers suspicions no? Does the officer start being a d!ck to you. I don't understand how you can refuse to answer a question. Like I asked. Blank stare? Leading to a stand off? The first question is always how much have you had to drink tonight. So what is the non answer you give that doesn't P off the officer and create a hostile situation where the officer will go out of his way to hassle you and treat you in a worse manner?
What is a drug recognition test? Didn't even know they had those. No, I don't care, I don't do drugs but road side, didn't know police can do that. I think it's good because tons of people drive and are out of it but not from drinking.
I got stopped few time over these stupid ride programs in most awkward times like 9am or 2pm during working day. of course they ask if I had any booze or weed and obviously the answer is no but I also ask them if they had something to drink or smoke. The look on their face is priceless.....I have right to demand from them to get breathalyzed too.

So we basically have no options in Canada except to talk to a lawyer after the fact. Better to get out of Canada.
One of my rules for life. Nobody's day ever improved by speaking with the police. Be polite. Be respectful. And shut the hell up! People have the right to remain silent, but most lack the capacity to do so.
I will never take a field sobriety test and I think I’d be willing to take it to the highest court of law and get it changed so you don’t ever have to take one. Why don’t cops make better use of their time and go hang out in a bar and watch people get in their cars drunk. The tests are completely arbitrary and a cop can just decide to charge you based on his mood that day. Canada needs to start fighting for real freedom.
1. Not kissing the ass of the cop 2. pointing out the law 3. insisting on your rights 4. expecting the cop to not use the phrase, "Is that weed/alcohol I smell?" 5. All the tests for sobriety are so unreliable as to be pretty much BS 6. expect that the cop will tell the truth in court - police are allowed to lie in court with no repercussions whatsoever
a fiend was picked up for matching the description of a break and enter, he was in shorts and a tee shirt on a bike carrying nothing. cops said I'm sure its a mistake w just need to check you understand, in the ride to the station the officers said well the guy didn't break in the door so were not sure how he got in, my friend must of been a window, in court the police office noted hed correctly identify how the break in occurred. it all got tossed but really don't trust your friendly police officer
While I absolutely support anti drinking and driving initiatives, the law in Canada is hardly representative of freedom. To be stopped on a road as you are doing your business, not committing any infraction, smells of fascism. Imagine if any police in Canada could stop you anywhere, to "investigate" you, just in case you committed a crime? Suspected until proven innocent? There's a law against that in Canada but driving seems to be an exception to that freedom. I get it, driving isn't a right but a privilege in Canada, but why? How is this contradiction possible? Surely, there's a reason the Americans thought this was an important freedom.
Is a cop an agent for a corporation, or a government agency? Is the Highway Traffic Act all just admiralty-maritime law, which is administrative, statutory legal commercial contract stuff. So where can one find the origional wet signature contact that one has agreed by mutual voluntary consent to these purported conditions?
if you're in Canada they apply to you (and i don't mean in some moral or philosophical sense, i mean that the government will apply them to you whether you like it or not) the Criminal Code is online, as is an excellent resource called the Criminal Law Notebook (the project of a criminal defense attorney in Halifax named Peter Dostal) that clarifies case law regarding criminal offenses
My father was a police officer and he coached me on police encounters when I was a teenager. I am now 62, and have been driving for 46 years. I have been stopped numerous times and first and foremost...BE POLITE...cops are human too, and if you are a dick, they will be a dick right back. If the cop starts off as a dick, still be polite, that just might disarm him somewhat and soften his stance. Second...roll the damn window down all the way. Take off your hat and sunglasses so he can see your face. Listen to and obey instructions. The roadside is not the place to get into an argument, you can file a complaint later. For simple speeding, I never argue, I am fine taking the ticket if it means the encounter ends quickly. If the cop is wrong, go to court. Did I say be polite? BE POLITE. I would not volunteer any searches, but if ordered, comply and complain later. In my experience, doing this often results in just a warning, and if a ticket is issued, it's usually reduced.
Your statement just proves that we live in a police state. Everything you have said is not law but just a ways so cops don't get butt hurt. Funny how traffic law trumps the charter and makes people feel like criminals. Road pirates never get my respect, they are all low life's not deserving of any!

The other tests do not carry the same penalty as they are not based on science but rather crude chance and probability as pulling over 100 sober drivers would result in 10-20 convictions if they were all forced to do a series of 3 random sobriety tests. Take for example the "alphabet backwards test" and google it yourself to see if anyone can do much past 10 letters without a complete fail. A significant amount of people will and do fail that.

Balance test I'm 72 years old they want me to stand on one foot. Forget it. Never heard of anything so ridiculous.
Kevin: I'm 79 and I sure cannot stand on one leg! Maybe I should keep a cane in the car for such occurrences.
Great advice as usual. Always try to get along. Good rule for life.
if the cop asks you to take a pee while lifting one foot and you start to do that test I've got bad news for you
Here's a question : I'm in rehabilitation for a stroke and would absolutely fail roadside tests. (Still clear to drive per MOT...) Refuse any tests that I can't do successfully?
would love to hear a reply to this, I would fail the roadside tests also. issues from my stroke.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, my wife is. This IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.
If you tell the cops the reason you are refusing roadside tests, most are decent enough to figure out another safer way. My father is disabled (not stroke) and and I've watched him pull this many times successfully. While sitting in the car he does not look disabled.
You know how they say most lawyers are working for the system? Even when they’re on your side you can bet they won’t give you the most true advice. This channel feels a lot like that.
MOT? You must be very old.
@@WormBurger I am recovering ( MAYBE) from cancer, I have a disabled card on my dash. I have lost over 60 pounds in 3 months. I'm weak as a kitten, so thin that I just had a nasal feeding tube removed from my nose. If I were to take the test, I would fail ...but I was told to take the test, fail it and then let the breath test clear my name, because at the station where there are lots of cops around is the best time to express your poor health...plus, there are no body worn cameras on cops in my city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada...but there are cameras at the station.
PS: Never, never disclose any type of medication that you are taking, because even over the counter drugs could be used against you if you admit to having them in your bloodstream. I have so many dam needle scars from blood work and chemo that my I look like a junkie to a cop.
I got pulled over one time in February. I had an old plate on my car (i picked up the new one a couple days earlier and it was in my car but we were in the middle of a brutal cold snap so I hadnt put it on yet). I had 2 drinks while playing pool and got pulled over for the expired plate while driving home. Officer could smell alcohol but could tell I wasnt impaired and it was so cold the roadside breathalyzer wouldnt operate. He let me go without any hassle.
I took that as my get out of jail free card. Dont drink and drive and have all of your car info up to date. I gave all the power to that RCMP officer and im thankful that he wasnt a jerk. He had me if he wanted.
It always baffles me why they ask “where are you going” and “where did you come from” lol I say none of your business! Lol PS always record them!
It’s to start a conversation and see if there is a smell of alcohol off your breath and any signs of slurred speech. This will give them probable grounds to go further in their investigation.
I’d rather be asked how my day is going it’s less intrusive
What if I have medical limitations to do a fired test.. blood no issue … road side screen don’t care
It's fine until it isn't. Was recently stopped by a conservation officer because she thought I was running away from her... ie.. they were bored. When I explained I live a mile and half down the road and I was headed home the look I got back was just stunned. I repeated 3 times, gave the township Road number and everything which was also on my licesne she had in her hand. She still didn't get it and said she was confused. . I finally just said you are a waste of my time and am I free to go. I was and drove off lol. Like is part of being any form of law enforcement to have the IQ of potato? Yes it is
The best advice I could give to someone is hire a lawyer who specializes in DUI cases, it will cost you but they really know what they're doing. My lawyer knew exactly how to fight my case the minute he looked at the paper work and yes, he won.
And did you learn your lesson not to drive impaired in the future?
I have a question regarding the new law that every traffic stop now requires the office to do a roadside alcohol test. I would love if you did a video on this topic.
Parts per million no roadside, it pisses them off
The first question that they always ask at any roadside check stop is "have you had anything to drink tonight?" Do you have to answer that? Usually my answer is "no" (and it's usually, most of the time, the truth). But do I have to answer at all?
No, but then you give police reason to detain you. So, that becomes a forced knock and talk. I believe you can be detained legally for up to 24 hours. So, take your pick what is worst?
🤔🤔🤔
You have 2 choices really. You can lie to an officer which has penalties, or you can admit to drinking which also has penalties. You gotta quickly evaluate the pros and cons of each penalty and pick you best move. Do not arouse contempt and you can fly under the radar 99% of the time.
BuT WhAt AboUt tHAt 1%? It's called a gamble for a reason.
I answerred 'not YET, but i plan to when i get home'. seemed to work...
This really is the question folks should be asking. They way law is now they are going to make you blow regardless what you tell them, and they love to catch you in a lie - it seems to give them moral ground to throw the book at you.
That said I think the best response is "I had one after lunch/dinner a few hours ago.." The hope is that the little bit of honesty and downplaying the situation will persuade him to wave you on.
@@TheRealFoonus never admit to having a drink. Instant suspension. They are going to throw the book at you anyway, make them work for it. The way the law operates in the real world (as evidenced) is that your guilty before innocent. So if the police can lie to you, it's only fair you can lie to them. The punishment isn't much worse. Just don't lie in the courtroom. Because that's where it really counts.
To argue with the police is the same as wrestling with a chimney sweep:
Win or lose, you'll always end up dirty.

Covid is made up bull$hit, duh
the only demand they will make is with the blow device. as far as i have been informed refusing tests where 10-20% of people will ordinarily totally fail them like the alphabet backwards test is not mandatory and will be destroyed in court. a child could destroy that argument in court a lawyer wants you to make mistakes by doing the tests so they can make money arguing about how useless the tests are. if you refuse the unscientific evidence the DUI guy in the states says "Dont Do Field Sobriety Tests" because lol dude IF THEY HAVE TO ASK.... what makes you think doing ANYTHING they ask you will get you out of it?
I was driving home from work at 10.30 pm one night it was a country road. The next cross road had an old school house at the intersection. It was well barrackaded and owned by a biker gang. Someone with a bright flashlight was flagging me down. The person with the flash light made sure it was right in my eyes. He said he was police and roll my window down completely as I'd only opened it about an inch. I couldn't see his face or what he was wearing. I must admit I didn't believe him. I told him to take note of my license plate and I would call the local station when I got home.
I got home, called and was told it wasn't police. They had no idea what was happening.
That was years ago before cell phones. I think I was lucky. I would do that again. Dark road, single woman, I always save me first. In the dark nobody gets my details unless it is through the glass.
Mr Kruse, do you recommend staying out of the crease while scoring a game winning goal?
Have you had anything to drink today, if you say yes it is probable cause for being pulled to the side or going right through the checkpoint..
Another "trick" is to shield your eyes and squint when the flashlight aims at your eyes. A drunk person stares at the light a second or two longer like a deer. Skilled alcoholics squint immediately from practice.
thank you for the information.
The Roadside Sobriety tests that include walking a line, looking at a moving pen, hand to nose etc, have been proven to be highly subjective and therefore officers “looking” for a finding can get one that way. Even if you are totally sober.
Would it not be better to refuse those tests as invalid but agree to blow or blow at the station?
Not all officers go strictly according to Hoyle.
What do you think?
What's your take on the new practice out west (Sk): any traffic stop, regardless of the reason, requires a sobriety test (breathalyzer).
My tail light is out. Blow into this, sir. How the actual hell is this not a violation against us?
That law has not gone to supreme court yet along with up to 2hours after driving but when RIDE got approved they had to have reasonable suspicion and they don't have it for a broken light thus a violation. But till a rich doctor or lawyer gets charged we a lowly Canadians have to put up with the piggies abusing us.

always good info.
Field sobriety tests are not authorised for 65 and over according to the Iinsurance Institute for Highway Safety (the trade groups that codified these tests) in the US. Same as in Canada?
I just turned 65, i wish someone knew that answer .. I have read for weeks online and can't find that to be a fact.
At a ride check I was asked where I was coming from. I asked the cop if I was required to answer that question as it seemed to violate my privacy. She said yes since it would help them ascertain if I had been drinking. I replied that I could drink anywhere and that I had not been drinking and again her question was a violation of basic privacy. It ended with her shining her flashlight in my face and car interior then sending me on my way.
Good topic.

I have no problem doing the breathalizer test but I would surely fail the field sobriety test. I am 75 years old and have medical issues after being in a coma after suffering a heart attack. I also am on a regimen of pills as well. I am just curious if I should disclose this information because I don't trust any police officers.
Years ago I visited a ladyfriend 1 hour's drive from my residence and I was stopped for a sobriety test, 3 or 4 times.
Once I was asked by the officer: "Where are you coming from?"
A number of smart-alecky remarks whizzed through my brain in seconds, but I decided to play it civilized on the premise that he probably gets a lot of crap and static from the public.
So I asked this officer: "Why do you need to know this, officer?" Boy did this cop fly off the handle! But nary a word about his right to ask questions. He said in effect that he wanted to know if I had been to a drinking establishment. I replied that I had already affirmed that I had not been drinking alcohol. He grumpily waved me on.
Same route another time a woman officer tried to engage me in small-talk. I politely informed her that this was inappropriate for an armed representative of the state government. "We are trying to be nice" she said and waved me on.
If I were to get stopped again for similar reasons and asked a similar question I'll simply point my thumb to the back and say: "From back there".
You don't have to do a roadside alcohol test .do it at the station.
I’ve seen very fit, sober and agile athletes fail some of these roadside sobriety tests. For the most part they do not prove anything.
I legitimately have bad balance. I am sure that impacts the results of roadside sobriety tests.
As Bruce Rivers always says, “No self snitching! Just shut the fuck up!” His words, not mine.
... and he's gonna react to all the self-snitchin', uhhh
So don’t answer them if they ask you if you’ve had anything to drink?
I was calm and polite this whole thing through. Cops had a dui check point set up. I stop, asked if I had anything to drink, I said I don't and wont reply to any of your questions, clearly I am 100% sober, I was told to pull over to the side, cops walks up to my window and asks me to blow in the tester, I ask why, Its a DUI check point sir, I ask do you have a suspicion I have been drinking and if so what are your suspicions, You don't want to reply to my questions so you are suspicious, I say I don't want to take your test what happens if I don't, I will tow your car and arrest you in Canada you are required to do this test when asked, I say OK but I would like to know what threshold you have to meet to ask someone to do this test so I understand why I am doing something against my will with the threat of jail if I don't, They did not reply and just asked if I would be blowing. I did and it was a 0. I was told I could leave the area. What I don't like about this is I did not want to do the test and they had no reason to ask me to do it.
This lawyer you are watching just said do not be confrontational ? Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) requires drivers to provide a breath sample during every traffic stop on OPP-patrolled highways in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This is part of the OPP's Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) policy, which aims to reduce impaired driving.
I know I have a balance problem, but it isn't under medical treatment.. I have no documentation. I also have poor lung capavity due to constant allergies... I feel that I would be so screwed.
Why are do those devices so hard to take a breath sample? A lot of older people don’t have the lung capacity.
I have to laugh when I get stopped in R.I.D.E. stops. I am a white-haired old guy and I tell them that I've been a tee-totaler since I was 22. That blank look that I get from the cops is comical and then I have to explain it to them. Don't they use that expression anymore? hahaha
What if they "read you your rights" and ask if you understand, and you say NO.
@@gerrymiller375 Good one! LOL I'll have to try that one some day.
Failing to give a proper breathalyzer is not an excuse. As someone who’s officially taken them in a non-law enforcement role, it takes a concerted effort on the person providing the sample to get a proper reading (although I’m sure it’s improved by leaps and bounds by now). Getting a decent one in a combative situation has to be respected imo. Blow very long and hard, or it isn’t „cooperating“. No participation ribbons for this one.
If the police ask " Have you had anything to drink today?" Are you obligated to answer?
oh that's simple you can cooperate and say "fk-u" or not cooperate which is worse and say _"I don't answer questions"_ as the Former Answer at least leaves the room of claiming that the question offended you LMFAO
You are not obligated to answer.
@@colind7678 if you remain silent they will start asking other questions there are of a higher order of being demeaning like "ARE YOU OK" which is one giant step towards them either legally having a reason to enter your car or merely asking you to step out of the car which also allows them to further investigate regardless of any protests of the sort due to the initial "failure to communicate" lol. Lawyers would love for you not to answer at all, because that's how they get paid whether you win or lose. This is why releasing videos like this is so important. Nobody gets straight A's in school, someone is going to get it wrong (whether sober or not!) but the bottom line is YOUR LAW PRACTICE'S NAME GETS OUT THERE SO YOU CAN COLLECT $$$ LOL.

Our DUI laws has even gotten worse. There was a new law passed not long ago, that , if a person calls the cops on you while you were driving , and even if you did not have anything to drink, once you got home, you start to relax and have a beer of wine or what ever else, then the cops can come by within 2 hours of the call, and then demand a breath test and you either refuse or you take it and if you fail it, you are arrested and charged for a DUI. Then you go to court and have to proved that you were not drinking and driving .What type of BS LAW IS THIS.This law should be challeged in court.

What if you're walking in public or riding a bike?
Public intoxication.
I don't think you're allowed to ride a bike drunk in Canada. It's not a motor vehicle but it's a "conveyance" so it's illegal. You can't be drunk on the city bus or the subway either (public intoxication.)
A taxi is a private business so you can get a cab home, of course the cab driver has to be sober :)
@ Not true. Drunk people ride public transport all the time.
Dui stops should be illegal. This is intrusion and turns into bullying if you don't let them interrogate you
Police stop saved my life. I got a lesson and never drink after.
I STILL didn't get the answer here that I have been trying to get for so long. I read that if I end up in the station and I'm being interviewed by the DRE officer, part of that DRE process is sitting there and being asked, when was my last drink, how much food did I consume and when did I do it. . . well, THAT is part of the DRE exam, so if I exercise my rights not to speak, will I be charged for refusing the DRE part of the DUI test? .... I don't know.
I know that I can talk to a lawyer before my breath test and DRE exam, but what if the dam lawyer is young and stupid and tells me to not say a word and now I'm charged with refusal.....
You absolutely have to turn into a circus clown in the middle of the road when asked by the police in Canada? I didn't know that. To be honest, I haven't seen anyone do FST in Canada before. Maybe the breathalyzer is standard here?
If you are stopped on the Trans Canada you have the right to request to converse in either official language. If they don’t speak your chosen language then too bad for them.
Great video. My brother had an encounter. He wasn't drunk but was treated like he was. He had no clue what to do. When you say don't answer? How does that go. Officer says "how much have you had to drink?". You blank stare him? Say "no comment"? Raising the officers suspicions no? Does the officer start being a d!ck to you. I don't understand how you can refuse to answer a question. Like I asked. Blank stare? Leading to a stand off? The first question is always how much have you had to drink tonight. So what is the non answer you give that doesn't P off the officer and create a hostile situation where the officer will go out of his way to hassle you and treat you in a worse manner?
You tell them you are exercising your constitutional right to remain silent.
Exactly. Refusing to answer will be taken as a "yes" and the cop will treat you like you are DUI.
You just say that you don't want to answer your questions.

What is a drug recognition test? Didn't even know they had those. No, I don't care, I don't do drugs but road side, didn't know police can do that. I think it's good because tons of people drive and are out of it but not from drinking.
I got stopped few time over these stupid ride programs in most awkward times like 9am or 2pm during working day. of course they ask if I had any booze or weed and obviously the answer is no but I also ask them if they had something to drink or smoke. The look on their face is priceless.....I have right to demand from them to get breathalyzed too.
So we basically have no options in Canada except to talk to a lawyer after the fact. Better to get out of Canada.
One of my rules for life. Nobody's day ever improved by speaking with the police. Be polite. Be respectful. And shut the hell up! People have the right to remain silent, but most lack the capacity to do so.

I will never take a field sobriety test and I think I’d be willing to take it to the highest court of law and get it changed so you don’t ever have to take one. Why don’t cops make better use of their time and go hang out in a bar and watch people get in their cars drunk. The tests are completely arbitrary and a cop can just decide to charge you based on his mood that day. Canada needs to start fighting for real freedom.

Lawyers are no better than CEO,s.

2. pointing out the law
3. insisting on your rights
4. expecting the cop to not use the phrase, "Is that weed/alcohol I smell?"
5. All the tests for sobriety are so unreliable as to be pretty much BS
6. expect that the cop will tell the truth in court - police are allowed to lie in court with no repercussions whatsoever
I'm never gonna pass coordination tests stone cold sober. I'll give breath or blood or whatever that's NOT SUBJECTIVE.
those road side balance tests are set up for failure even if sober, Should be able to do breathalyzer if requested. Pass and your on your way.

a fiend was picked up for matching the description of a break and enter, he was in shorts and a tee shirt on a bike carrying nothing. cops said I'm sure its a mistake w just need to check you understand, in the ride to the station the officers said well the guy didn't break in the door so were not sure how he got in, my friend must of been a window, in court the police office noted hed correctly identify how the break in occurred. it all got tossed but really don't trust your friendly police officer

A lot of valid but Unanswered Questions below.
While I absolutely support anti drinking and driving initiatives, the law in Canada is hardly representative of freedom. To be stopped on a road as you are doing your business, not committing any infraction, smells of fascism. Imagine if any police in Canada could stop you anywhere, to "investigate" you, just in case you committed a crime? Suspected until proven innocent? There's a law against that in Canada but driving seems to be an exception to that freedom. I get it, driving isn't a right but a privilege in Canada, but why? How is this contradiction possible? Surely, there's a reason the Americans thought this was an important freedom.
Is it not to be challenged, taking a blood test or getting charged for refussing a dui test . It is
In the U S A
The worst mistake is driving under the influence! The second mistake if to pay to receive help to evade justice !
Is a cop an agent for a corporation, or a government agency? Is the Highway Traffic Act all just admiralty-maritime law, which is administrative, statutory legal commercial contract stuff. So where can one find the origional wet signature contact that one has agreed by mutual voluntary consent to these purported conditions?
Good luck with that. Crown don't care.

My father was a police officer and he coached me on police encounters when I was a teenager. I am now 62, and have been driving for 46 years. I have been stopped numerous times and first and foremost...BE POLITE...cops are human too, and if you are a dick, they will be a dick right back. If the cop starts off as a dick, still be polite, that just might disarm him somewhat and soften his stance. Second...roll the damn window down all the way. Take off your hat and sunglasses so he can see your face. Listen to and obey instructions. The roadside is not the place to get into an argument, you can file a complaint later. For simple speeding, I never argue, I am fine taking the ticket if it means the encounter ends quickly. If the cop is wrong, go to court. Did I say be polite? BE POLITE. I would not volunteer any searches, but if ordered, comply and complain later. In my experience, doing this often results in just a warning, and if a ticket is issued, it's usually reduced.
Your statement just proves that we live in a police state. Everything you have said is not law but just a ways so cops don't get butt hurt. Funny how traffic law trumps the charter and makes people feel like criminals. Road pirates never get my respect, they are all low life's not deserving of any!
@@powerslide000 Driving is a licensed activity. There is no charter problem making sure that you are licensed to drive and that your car is legal to operate on a public roadway.
@@whiskeytango9769 Keep believing that the state as the right to regulate your travels and the means you travel with. It's just another form of control that you have been brainwashed into believing it was for safety. Canada is a plantation and you are just a slave. 62 years old and you still believe that others have the right to rule over you. SAD!
@@powerslide000Buddy it’s so much worse than a silly 🇨🇦 police state.
Wait 3 weeks.
@@whiskeytango9769 "no charter problem" -- wanna bet? look up Joseph-Christopher Luamba v. Attorney General of Quebec et al. for a raft of charter problems
Ladouceur (1990) is the law of the land for now but hopefully not for much longer
This is simply an option with no data to back-up the author's option.
Only in the republic of Canada, Banana 🍌 Republic of Canada. These laws are a joke.
Drunk drivers don't deserve lawyers.
They should be banned from driving for life.
The problem you're talking about, drunks talk to much and drunks are rude. So that won't help them PLUS nothing happens to them they go to court and they get their hands smacked and out doing it again.
Of course, the easiest way around it is to simply not drink or do drugs and drive. It's really not that hard.
