Mandatory Alcohol Screening in Manitoba
Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) lets police in Manitoba require a roadside breath test from any driver they lawfully stop, with no suspicion needed. It’s part of Canada’s impaired‑driving laws under Bill C‑46 and is now a standard tool used by police across the province.
Why it matters:
In Manitoba, MAS works hand‑in‑hand with Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. A WARN or FAIL on the screening device can lead to numerous MPI sanctions, including suspensions and vehicle impoundment
If you’re driving in Manitoba, expect to be screened.
