In other words, the Crown will not be able to use, at the time of your trial, your statement to the police during events related to <a href=\"https:\/\/criminalattorneysmontreal.com\/drinking-driving\/\">impaired driving<\/a>. Similarly, the Crown prosecutor will not be able to cross-examine you on this aspect in order to undermine your credibility before the judge. This means that these statements will be admissible in evidence only for the purpose of <a href=\"https:\/\/criminalattorneysmontreal.com\/the-judicial-process\/\">demonstrating to the judge<\/a> that the police had reason to suspect the presence of alcohol or drugs in your system or reasonable grounds to believe that you committed an offence on the day of your arrest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-854d795 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"854d795\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Written statement: consumption scenario<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b518ece elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b518ece\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As part of their work, police officers may also ask you to complete another type of report, commonly referred to as a consumption scenario.

This form also asks about when you last slept and when you last ate.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that even if you do not complete the form in writing, police officers can ask you the questions included in this consumption scenario and write the verbal responses you give them in their personal notebook. For this reason, <strong>it is important to withhold this information from the police and exercise your right to remain silent<\/strong>. This right, which is guaranteed to you by the <em>Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/em>, is very important during any police interception and we strongly recommend that you exercise it.
