Chicago DUI lawyer hopes our Constitution will not permit random breathalyzers

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here about our neighbors to the North in Canada. Now comes the news that they want to make random breath testing legal.

October 5, Ottawa, Canada

The Canadian government is considering a major change to its 40-year-old breathalyzer law, allowing random tests, Mothers Against Drunk Driving said.

Under current law police may only administer a test if they suspect a driver has been drinking, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.

A House of Commons justice committee recommended the change in June. Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said he is considering adopting that recommendation. We was speaking at a MADD meeting.

A number of countries in Europe have a random drug testing law.

The Commons parliamentary committee argued the new law would be an effective deterrent.

MADD chief executive Andrew Murie said countries that have implemented the random testing law have seen a drop in drunk driving fatalities.

So where does that slippery slope stop? We don't believe you've done anything wrong, but let's just check anyhow? Here's hoping that someone stands up in Canada because lately it seems like we are following them more and more in areas like this.
