Re: 鈥淧olice won鈥檛 focus on ferry passengers,鈥� letter, 鈥淲oman, 76, challenges legality of licence loss,鈥� April聽23.
The front-page story about Norma McLeod flies in the face of the letter to the editor suggesting that police will not be lying in wait to ambush ferry passengers on debarkation.
The letter-writer uses the decades of serving alcohol aboard the ferries to Washington state as being proof of the absurdity inherent in the original concern. What was not considered in this theory is that changes to Canada鈥檚 impaired-driving laws did not come into effect until last Dec. 18.
Ergo, the years of experience prior to that date are invalid, to say the least.
