On June 22, 2006 at around 2 a.m. Kroeger was pulled over by the RCMP in Surrey for speeding. Detecting the smell of alcohol on Kroeger, the officer asked Kroeger to blow into his face. A breathalyzer-type test later showed a blood alcohol level of .14, over the legal limit of .08. Kroeger's lawyer, Marvin Stern, attempted to have the results of the later test ruled inadmissible as evidence on the grounds that the request to blow into the officer's face constituted an illegal search and seizure. The judge accepted that the search was illegal. Nevertheless, on March 4, 2008 the judge rejected the request to rule the evidence inadmissible.^[5] On April 1, 2008, Kroeger was convicted for driving with a blood-alcohol concentration over .08. On May 1, 2008, the court sentenced him to pay a $600 fine and prohibited him from driving for one year. ^[6] RCMP redirects here. ...
