Chatham, Ont., police force woman to remove her bra for breathalyzer test in front of male technician

CHATHAM, Ont. — When a 34-year-old Chatham, Ont., teacher was instructed to provide two breath samples at Chatham-Kent police headquarters last year, she did so sitting in a room with a male officer, without her bra.

Defence lawyer Brian Ducharme of Windsor says the act of removing the undergarment was intimidating for his client, and an Ontario court judge has agreed. In fact, Justice Lucy Glenn told a Chatham court Thursday she has never heard of such a policy.
