POLICE STEAL SENIOR’S CAR.

CHASE, B.C.- The federal government is facing growing pressure over impaired driving rules brought into effect last December.

Jimmy Forster is the latest driver struggling with breathing difficulties to launch a constitutional challenge against the restrictions, after the 63-year-old was pulled over twice in his hometown of Chase, B.C. on March 20 without showing any signs of impairment.

“I was blowing so hard, so many times, I started getting dizzy and they came in towed my car away,”

“I couldn’t come up with a reading. The officer told me I wasn’t breathing hard enough and I said I was breathing as hard as I can.”

By failing to make the machine register, Forster broke the law and immediately had his car impounded and lost his license for 90 days.

Forster has joined a series of cases of British Columbians with breathing difficulties struggling to have a breathalyzer register.

That new federal law, introduced by the Liberal government in December, allows police to demand a breathalyzer test of any driver they pull over, no longer needing suspicion the driver has consumed alcohol.
