I blew over 80 at the police station doesn t this mean I should just plead guilty?
An over 80 reading on the Breathalyzer doesn t mean that you don t have a defence to an over 80 charge. The Breathalyzer machine is not infallible, and any reading is dependent on the prosecution proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the machine was functioning properly. Moreover, the authorities can only use these readings against you where they have been obtained in a manner consistent with your rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. At Greenspon, Brown & Associates, we use our wealth of experience in defending these kinds of cases to identify each and every potential avenue of attacking these readings so they can t be used against you in court.
