Surrey, Vancouver, Fort St. John and Kelowna Immediate Roadside Prohibition IRP and Impaired Driving Criminal Appeal Lawyer Sumit Ahuja, had a recent win for a client in respect of her appeal of a BC Immediate Roadside Prohibition. Aggressive and immediate representation on Immediate Roadside Prohibitions can make the difference between preventing or allowing huge economic loss to our clients and their families. You have only a few hours to call us before your right to appeal will be lost so don’t delay.
Mr. Ahuja’s winning argument was:
An officer must wait at least 15 minutes before taking a sample of your breath if you advise the officer that you recently consumed alcohol, or burped/belched, put anything in your mouth, or regurgitated. The officer must continue to keep face-to-face interaction with an accused throughout the time the officer forms the opinion that the accused’s ability to operate a motor vehicle is affected by alcohol up to the time the officer demands a sample of the accused’s breath.
In this case, Mr. Ahuja, was successful in his submissions about the officer not waiting the requisite 15 minutes and our client’s Immediate Roadside Prohibition and the subsequent vehicle impoundment were revoked.
If you have been received an Immediate Roadside Prohibition, you have seven (7) days to file an appeal. Don’t waste time as delay is fatal if you miss the deadlines – contact Jennifer Lin at anyone of our four offices across BC to discuss your matter by calling toll free at 1 877 602 9900.
