Put me down in the camp of this being a slippery slope and I am not in favor of this. And for those who said a few minutes of your time as an inconvenience is not a big deal consider a checkstop where they are screening everyone, it is going to be a lot longer than a few minutes. Over the Christmas break we were in the Edmonton area and my kids and their cousins (all teenagers and running GDL's so zero tolerance) came across one one night in Fort Saskatchewan where the highway crosses the river. The traffic backup was massive as everyone was being screened. My beliefs aside (opposed to this) the kids said the police were good about it and explained the procedure nicely the them as neither of the girls driving had ever been stopped before and did not know what to do or even expect.


Edit to add I fully expect CPS, EPS, and the RCMP to provide statistics showing the results of mandatory screening. How many more impaired drivers were caught, what the percentage increase is in how effective this is etc. If this cannot be done then I also fully expect mandatory screening to be stopped.
