A 27 year old Ontario woman became the first person to be charged under a new federal law that gave police officers power to conduct roadside drug testing. Before the new law was introduced, officers were obligated to inform drivers they were not obligated to provide bodily fluids before requesting a road side drug test.

Toronto police arrested the woman while in the downtown core on an unrelated call. It was there that they witnessed a vehicle crash into a parked car. After attending to the woman, officers concluded she was impaired and charged Littoya Blackman, 27, of Toronto with impared driving by drugs.

I guess this will be the first test to see if the law will have any impact. There was no mention if a road side drug test was actually administered.
