As the representative of a Toronto riding, I'm certainly very concerned about racial profiling. I contacted Professor Hogg over the summer and went through his brief to MADD. We spoke about the case of Orbanski.

In that case, it appeared one of the accused was stopped randomly and given a screening breath test, and then went on to be charged.

Do the police not have existing powers to pull folks over on a random basis and administer a screening breath test? What's the additional concern with RBT?
