Starting April 1, Saskatchewan RCMP will conduct mandatory alcohol screening during all routine traffic stops.
“In 2018, the MAS became part of the Criminal Code Section 320.27, being a lawful demand of a breath sample from any driver of a motor vehicle, without the need for reasonable suspicion,” RCMP said in a release.
“Drivers will not be pulled over for the sole purpose of completing MAS — the MAS will only be requested once a driver is pulled over for other various traffic violations.”top news stories from Canada and around the world. According to a release, Saskatchewan RCMP charged more than 1700 individuals with impaired driving last year. Police stated that is roughly five per day — and more than one third of all fatal collisions involved alcohol.“The certainty of a mandatory alcohol screening is to help discourage those consuming alcohol from getting behind the wheel,” said Superintendent Grant St. Germaine, officer in charge of Saskatchewan RCMP traffic services.
“It goes without saying that someone’s ability to mask their impairment should not be the determining factor if someone gets home safely to their family each night.”The kids are not OK.
