Refusal to Provide a Breath Sample

To secure a conviction, the Crown must prove that you refused or failed to comply with a peace officer’s request to provide multiple, suitable breath samples without lawful excuse. Lawful excuses are restricted, and the burden falls on you to substantiate that your excuse was legitimate.

These charges parallel Impaired Driving and Over 80 offences, carrying comparable driving restrictions and criminal consequences — restrictions that can significantly impact your personal and professional life.
