AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE - DELAY IN CALLING TECHNICIAN

The officer testified that she phoned dispatch at 5:30 a.m. to notify the technician that he woudl be required. The officer did not have a note about making the call to dispatch. The technician was not contacted until 6:06 a.m. Either the investigator did not call dispatch at 5:30 a.m. or dispatch sat on the request until 6:06 a.m. Regardless of who was at fault, the delay resulted in tests not being conducted as soon as practicable.  R. v. Alfred-Guymour, 2011 ONCJ 521
