VANCOUVER — A woman in West Vancouver has had her charge of refusing to give a breath sample tossed out in court recently after telling a judge she couldn't blow into the roadside screening device because her face was frozen from Botox injections. Paddi Anne Moore, 51, used the defence while representing herself during a trial on a charge of refusing to give a breath sample in North Vancouver provincial court. Moore was pulled over in West Vancouver shortly after midnight on April 24 and asked to blow into the roadside-screening device. She was given four chances, but the equipment failed to register a sample every time. Moore argued in court she couldn't purse her lips properly around the roadside device because of Botox injections she had received 10 days earlier in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, where she lives for part of the year.
