What is the test for reasonable suspicion in a motor vehicle accident?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Keats, 2013 ONCJ 277 (CanLII):
[64] In considering forming the reasonable suspicion, the officer must consider all of the circumstances including the presence, if any, of the odour of alcohol which is the best indicator of the presence of alcohol in the driver’s body but is not the only one, or the officer can also consider an admission by the driver that alcohol was consumed. See Regina v. Singh, supra, and Regina v. Mutisi [2011] O.J. No. 4546.
