Rep Power: 0 | | Breathalyzer hypothetically, is it possible for an individual to bypass one of these bad boys (without tampering/breaking them)? like is there a chemical way to overcome this? (please don't say by not drinking...)
i heard of the penny trick, but i do not believe it works.

Rep Power: 3 | | 1. Smash the breathalizer up.
2. The police put you in a holding cell.
3. When they get another machine you've sobered up.
Not really a way of beating the machine but a tactic that might work.

Rep Power: 0 | | A while back people got away with it that said they've just used a breath freshner,the type that come in small bottles,they contain alcohol and this may give you time untill the blood test at the police station.
The only problem is that you must have one on you and have just used it.
The best thing is not to drink and drive,it's not worth the risk and if you do run someone over,it'll be your fault,even if it was not.You should not have been driving. |

Rep Power: 3 | | Just don't drink and drive. It needlessly endangers you and others around you. You can buy personal breathalyzer things to check what your level is.

Not really a way of beating the machine but a tactic that might work. | 1. This will result in your arrest for destruction of property and probably assault on the cop holding the breathalyzer. Both lock-up offenses.
2. They will have plenty of machines, possibly a spare in the car. At most it will buy you the time it takes to get back to the station. In Aust they can test you after an arrest, then calculate your BAC at the time you were driving, and you will be charged at that level. Quote: |

In fact if you know your going to fail the test, it's the best thing to do.

Rep Power: 0 | | But don't they charge you for refusing the test? If people could refuse with no consequence then no drunk would take the test.

there are definitely consequences. In California I believe you lose your license for a year. But losing your license for a year is much better than having a dui on your record.
This comes into play more with those of us who are under 21. In the states if your under 21 driving with anything over .01 is considered a dui. Thus you know for sure when your going to fail the test and consequently when you should refuse it |

Rep Power: 0 | | well i just got out of drivers ed in indiana and when u get ur license u basically sign a contract saying you will take the test if you are pulled over. you can refuse to take the test, but they'll suspend ur license for a few years. not worth it. |

Yeah they both get your license suspended for six months but you can have 10 failed to submitt to sobriety test charges and they will always be misdameanors but if you get 3 dui's it becomes a felony charge. I'd rather have failure to submitt to a sobriety test then a DUI because then when applying for a job, if the boss happens to bring it up, you can come up with something like "he started doing this pen test to me and he said I failed that test(which this test is TOTAL BULLSHIT) and after that I realized that even though I'm not drunk, they are going to do what they can to arrest me so I told them no more tests".
Something like that.

Secondly, if you smashed the breathalyzer wouldn't the be some form of offense? In Canada you can refuse to take the breathalyzer, but you will not be allowed to continue driving until you allow for other methods of testing to be done.

how is that obstruction of justice? just curious i looked on a law school website under obstruction of justice and nothing said anything about verbal anything directed towards an officer.

Rep Power: 0 | | i read on wikipedia and it says it detects for alc. by electrolysis of ethanol to acetic acid.... so mabey you could take a quick mouthwash with vinegar and then take the test. The amount of acetic acid would be enough that the amount of ethanol in your body to produce that amount of acetic acid would be like 20% of your body weight ( which easily wouldve been enough kill you many times over) and the cop might come to the conclusion that the breath tester is broken. Thus, if you're not too buzzed you just have to do the walk the line tests, etc

| Not in the US. Unless you actually threaten the cop , we have a freedom of speech, here. Besides, cops hear it all, most just grin or laugh. Still, with most cop's attitudes, it isn't prudent to use it in so many words, especially if you know you are DUI...
We had a "Sobriety Checkpoint" here that supposedly pulled over everyone within a certain distance of downtown after 2 AM. A friend just drove through one, which was his right, they really couldn't pursue, but they did pull him over for "speeding". |  | |  |

EDIT:
I just got a flash: borrow a nebulizer (right word?--inhaler?) from an asthmatic friend, keep it with you. When pulled-over, suck on it a few times, them hold it up and say you're having an asthma attack...they will either not attempt a B/A or the spray will give falsies....
Steve; if the alcohol-tainted air is being "blown out" over the charcoal; why wouldn't it then absorb some? This makes no sense...If you would care to explain why in "theory" this wouldn't work?
Of course, a lot is theory. What a cop Can vs, what many Will do is far different.....
