Well correct me if I'm wrong I think .08 is what the "Government of the Province of British Columbia" deems acceptable - otherwise they wouldn't bother specifying a limit. I fully admit I had a couple drinks, however I also did nothing in contravention of the law as it is written.

So basically it comes down to the individual officers discretion, that's all I needed to know and I think gives me some validity to my claim. I think there's a problem with the extremely vague wording of this particular section of the MVA. Especially given the fact some cops hand them out along with 24 hour suspension and others do not. I guess I will try my luck in traffic court and see how it goes. Might as well to save the $200 plus 3 points.

Thanks!
