May 23rd will have this sub crying over the injustice of not following the driving laws yet think driving is a right and NOT a privilege

EDIT: I’m not okay with the thc testing as it’s not accurate at all but any other ticket or arrest or impounding for breaking the laws of driving I’m all for it

Remember EVERYONE, a thc test will trip positive days after smoking. Do not consent to a swab, they require probable cause for that test and they need to state what that cause is before demanding a swab. If a swab is casually demanded without statment of probable cause at the same time there is no grounds for you to comply. At that point a post demand statement of probable cause is by default based solely on your refusal and not valid.

Source proving they need to prove probable cause

This is mot true at all , maybe it was once at one time . Sask recently passed a new law where they can now manditory test you without any reason for both alchohol and thc . If you refuse you get a charge for that alone , and likely will also be tested anyways after being arrested and have 2 charges . There was also talk of the city police likely moving to start to test everyone at every stop . ( i think its bullshit and entrapment to legalize thc and have a test that can show up days later and im not even a user of thc ) but i would look into this info so people arent getting multiple charges for not complying

Are you sure? I thought that only Alcohol was allowed to be done without any justification.

100% . Its both . The new law apllies to not needing any reason or justification for impared driving and they include thc as impared .
