Pam Lacusta was pulled over for speeding by a police officer in an unmarked vehicle on 114th Avenue near Stoney Trail S.E., just after 11:30 a.m. on April 24. “I rolled down my window and [the officer] said, ‘I am going to conduct a breathalyzer on you,” said Lacusta. “Immediately, I thought to myself, ‘What? Why?’” Lacusta is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. “Part of my religion is abstinence from alcohol and drugs, and I have never partaken in either of these in my life,” she said. After 30 attempts to provide a breathalyzer sample, Lacusta was charged with an Immediate Roadside Sanction Fail (IRS Fail). “Every time I was able to just get a good blow in or a good breath in, he would yank it out and he would say, ‘Your teeth are in the way,’ ‘Your tongue is in the way,’ ‘You’re trying to manipulate the test,’” Lacusta said. “I have never seen a breathalyzer; I do not know how to do it.” #ctvnews #news #canada #calagry
