The union representing RCMP officers is expressing concerns about the looming travel restrictions between health units starting tomorrow (Friday).
National Police Federation BC Director Rob Farrer says setting up roadblocks from Alberta or between all health regions in the province would put a huge strain on resources.
He added comparing periodic roadblocks to the anti-drinking and driving campaign is a bad idea from the government.
“Impaired driving is clearly an illegal activity and it’s very clear there are measurable devices that can be used to determine impairment and if you are not (impaired) you are free to go. This is going to be based on a judgment call at the side of the road on whether travel is essential or not.”
