Criminal Charges & Licence Suspensions Explained -  DUI, Over 80, Refusal, IRS

In Alberta, impaired driving charges can lead to both criminal and administrative consequences:

• IRS (Immediate Roadside Sanction): Administrative licence suspension — no criminal charge (yet) — but serious penalties.

• DUI / Impaired Driving Charges: Criminal charges under the Criminal Code.

• Driving Over 80 (BAC above 0.08): Criminal charge based on breath or blood test result.

• Refusing a Breath or Blood Test: Criminal offence with the same penalties as impaired driving.

👉 Even if you were only issued an IRS, your licence, your job, and your future are on the line.

You May Have More Options Than You Think

Many people believe:

• “The police have all the evidence — I can’t fight it.”

• “If I blew over, I’m guilty.”

• “Hiring a criminal defence lawyer is too expensive.”

The truth is different.

An IRS suspension or DUI charge is extremely technical. Police must follow strict rules. Devices must be calibrated correctly. Every detail counts — and most errors are invisible unless you know where to look.

👉 One free review can uncover defences you didn’t know you had. Call (587) 327-9924 today.

🔍 Real Case Example: Breath Test Thrown Out — Licence Saved

A client blew well over the legal limit and was charged with Over 80. But Vince Semenuk reviewed the police disclosure and found the breathalyzer wasn’t properly calibrated — and key steps were skipped. The evidence was excluded and the charge was withdrawn.

👉 One mistake by police can change everything — but only if you know where to look.
