Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Ealey, 1992 CanLII 7862 (SK QB):
In Weir v. R., supra, an accused was convicted of refusing to comply with a roadside demand. The accused blew four times for approximately two seconds. The police officer then provided a demonstration for the accused. The police officer had explained that it usually takes seven or eight seconds to get a proper sample. In his evidence the police officer had used the term "roadside screening device" but nowhere did he refer to the A.L.E.R.T. as a Model J3A.
