Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS): Know Your Limits

Bill C-46 changed the game for Canadian drivers. Police no longer need “Reasonable Suspicion” to demand a breath sample. If you are stopped, you must comply, or face criminal charges for refusal.

The “Wait” Period: Why the timing of the test matters.

The Armour Advantage: How your lawyer monitors the calibration and conduct of the test in real-time to ensure your rights aren’t puffed away.
