British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kumar v British Columbia (Attorney General), 2017 BCSC 803 (CanLII):
This argument, but with respect to the use of approved screening device tests, was dealt with by this Court in Rhys v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), in which Madam Justice Allan held that: It appears clear that police officers can use the results of either co-ordination tests or ASD tests to form reasonable and probable grounds to issue a driving prohibition.
