They didn't listen to defence counsel. They didn't listen when defence counsel and the BCCLA told them that a system without recourse to the courts causes this kind of trouble and now, the police have recalled 2,200 Approved Screening Devices used at roadside to test people's breath alcohol. We told them citizen's rights would be violated and that there would be a violation of due process.
They didn't listen to us.
These are the machines responsible for the suspensions. By now, hundreds of people have received these suspensions. And the machines aren't working.
This is what happens when you remove due process.
To the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles; to Jamie Graham; to the police I say this: Shame on you. Your totalitarian attitude has lead to a situation where you've infringed due process without recourse for hundreds, if not thousands of citizens.
Disgusting. Maybe now, citizens will rise up and decry the loss of their rights.
