🚨 What should you say if an RCMP officer tells you, “I smell alcohol”? In this video, a lawyer explains what Canadian drivers should understand when police claim they smell alcohol during a traffic stop.
We break down Canadian impaired-driving laws, roadside breath testing, police questioning, reasonable suspicion, mandatory alcohol screening, and what drivers should know before responding during a police interaction.
Topics covered:
• What “I smell alcohol” can mean during a police stop
• RCMP roadside alcohol investigations
• Canadian impaired-driving laws
• Mandatory alcohol screening in Canada
• Police breath demands and approved screening devices
• Reasonable suspicion and alcohol investigations
• Driver rights during a traffic stop
• Police questioning in Canada
• What to say when police question you about alcohol
• Common mistakes drivers should understand
Under Criminal Code section 320.27(1), an officer who has reasonable grounds to suspect alcohol in a person's body after they have operated a conveyance may demand a roadside breath sample. Separately, section 320.27(2) permits mandatory alcohol screening when a driver is lawfully stopped and the officer has an approved screening device, even without prior suspicion of alcohol.
That means understanding the difference between police questioning, reasonable suspicion, and a lawful breath demand is important for every Canadian driver.
Watch until the end to understand what Canadian law actually says about roadside alcohol investigations and what you should know when an RCMP officer says, “I smell alcohol.”
