In Episode 454 of Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss the Supreme Court of Canada granting leave in Emeruwa, a major impaired driving refusal case dealing with mens rea, reasonable excuse, and what the Crown must prove when someone says they tried their best to provide a breath sample. They also discuss BC’s new commercial vehicle dash cam legislation, including privacy concerns, police access to footage, workplace surveillance, and how future regulations could shape the law.
