Not in British Columbia, Canada. Here they use the screening device to establish BAC Roadside, using our IRP (Immediate Roadside Prohibition) system. If you blow under .08 and over .05 you get a warn and a 3 day suspension. Over .08 the cop can elect to still not charge you with an impaired and impose a 30 day impoundment and a 90 day suspension, possibly followed up with a driver education program and an interlock requirement. No criminal charge, but refusing to blow has the same penalty. If they decide to charge you, you can expect a blood test to confirm the screening breathalizer. Not all the nuts & bolts in my post, but you can read it here if you want. http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv/prohibitions/impaired-driving.htm

Yup. I'm out, and so are more and more people that I know. I'm almost scared by what might replace it.....

Well played. I prefer the bra section in the Bay catalog, though.

You're about as tough as your name, sweaty porn-crotch-itchy fucktard. Go sweat your obese, carb-O-scurvy droplets on someone else's Cheerios. Sorry to be off topic and feeding the Trolls again, but AC left his shrimpy limp dick out in the front yard again...

I can't disagree with you. Since I dumped Facebook, my wife has curbed her Facebook activities to more like weekly browsing and said "Sooooo true" when she read your post. Social Engineering at it's finest. These days I make bread starter. I like that petri dish much better.

Just before I disabled my FB account I posted a goodbye message on my wall for people to PM me if they wanted my contact info. It came as no surprise that nobody did. I'm just as unpopular to my "Facebook friends" as they are to me. I don't miss it one little bit and get a real kick out of watching people look at me with bewilderment when I tell them I'm not on Facebook. This world is one EMP pulse away from complete chaos.

I know, right? Not to worry. His cornflakes always have piss in them.

I've heard that the WHO is reporting 91 laboratory-confirmed human cases and 17 deaths in four Provinces and two Municipalities in China. Sounds real enough to me. I feel safe enough here on the Left Coast in Canada... but there's not much more I can do than wash my hands lots and drink more JD...

Good point. They either have good habits or not. Bread and butter repeat customers for techs.

Ah, but now you are looking at the "tool in the toolbox" theory. Don't awake the Bearded Dragon.... Seriously. Don't fuckin do it. Me.

Hear Hear!

This. Is. Not. Funny? Elliots....

That's what I understand. Previously they were able to gain access to the stored messages under a General Warrant which is much easier to obtain. Now an Intercept Warrant would be required and is covered under Canada's privacy laws and is much more difficult to obtain. There was also some discussion that Telus would be discriminated against as not all other telecom's "store" sms messages which is the reason they were able to use the general warrants to begin with before this ruling. Cops are cops. They're trying to do their jobs and are using the tools in the toolbox. I'm glad the courts are seeing things for what they are. Kinda refreshing, actually.

The dimpling on the surfaces you can see in that pic looks like the crappy fiberglass repair job on my boat with a coat of paint smeared on it.
