从2026年1月1日起, 萨斯卡通警方将要求所有司机在合法停留期间进行呼吸测试, Starting Jan. 1, 2026, Saskatoon police will require breath tests from all drivers during lawful stops under a new law aimed at reducing impaired driving.

自2026年1月1日起,根据2018年《刑法》修正案,萨斯卡通警方将要求司机在任何合法交通停留期间进行呼吸分析测试,无论是否怀疑有缺陷。 Starting January 1, 2026, Saskatoon police will require breathalyzer tests from drivers during any lawful traffic stop, regardless of suspicion of impairment, under a 2018 Criminal Code amendment. 萨斯喀彻温省其他警察部门已经采用这一变革,目的是减少有缺陷的驾驶,并改善道路安全。 The change, already used by other Saskatchewan police services, aims to reduce impaired driving and improve road safety. 法律专家虽然不允许随意拦截,但对可能违反《宪章》规定的权利表示关切,因为呼吸测试被视为身体搜查。 While not allowing random stops, legal experts have raised concerns about potential Charter rights violations, as breath tests are considered bodily searches. 拒绝有效要求可能导致刑事指控,尽管由于持续的法律挑战,定罪得不到保障。 Refusing a valid demand can lead to criminal charges, though convictions are not guaranteed due to ongoing legal challenges. 该方案反映了交通执法方面的更广泛的省级转变。 The program reflects a broader provincial shift in traffic enforcement.
