My name is Paul Doroshenko. I’m a lawyer who deals mainly with cases involving the police. My law firm, Acumen Law Corporation, is the most successful BC law firm dealing with Immediate Roadside Prohibition DUI cases.
Long before I became a defence lawyer, I was a historian among other things. From the day I started as a lawyer I was involved in drunk driving defence. As a historian, I also took an interest in the history of DUI laws and the way that the police investigate impaired driving cases. One thing I can tell you is that DUI is nothing new.
Before we had cars, people got on their horses after drinking, or they would drink while riding their horse. There are reported court decisions of people crashing horse driven carriages while drunk. But the court cases from the days of horses in the street aren’t all that common because of course usually the horses were sober and they have minds of their own.
The investigation of impaired driving goes right along with the history of the car. DUI is nothing new and the police in Canada have been investigating impaired driving cases for over a century. What has changed is that the police have become more skilled at detecting DUI drivers, and conducting DUI investigations. Traffic cops, in particular, are trained and often become specialists at conducting DUI investigations. After all, they have one hundred years of experience, training and the advantages of the law behind them. But keep in mind, although a DUI is nothing new, there are always new developments in the way that police investigate impaired driving cases.
The police are always refining their processes. What you have behind you if you’re dealing with an impaired driving case is a lawyer who knows their processes, 
knows the law, knows the science, which the police almost never know and who knows how to forensically dissect an impaired driving investigation to find the defences. This is what we do.
