Canada’s highest court has upheld the acquittal of a Quebec man who refused to provide a sample of his breath to officers who didn’t have immediate access to a breathalyzer test.
The Supreme Court of Canada says the demand was invalid because police did not have in their possession an approved screening device to test for alcohol.
