SINGH v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2020] NZHC 368
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 368
- Court
- High Court
Given the objective circumstances observed by the officer (vehicle awkwardly parked with engine running, driver behind wheel displaying intoxication signs) the officer had good cause to suspect a Land Transport Act driving offence under s68(1)(b) and lawfully required a breath screening test; further, the immigration consequences did not warrant discharge because deportation would not cause exceptional family harm and immigration decisions are for the immigration authorities; appeal dismissed.
