One episode had a fellow on trial for being drunk but had taken "the pledge." Turned out his intentinal tract trapped the materials needed to produce alcohol. Acquitted when he got drunk in court after eating some crackers. So this isn't a newly discovered phenomena, I'd wager. Dan. I remembered a TV show about this, so I had to look it up.

I wonder if this is why the CHP alleged to have smelled of alcohol on me? This is very intriguing, so a machine will get you convicted of a crime that you did not truthfully commit?

Just kidding of course but this sheds light on arrests made when people swore they only had one or two drinks. Even a small percentage bears consideration of how the current DUI laws work. I hold that the best solution is criminal liability for any accidents or deaths caused. DUI would be legal, but those causing harm and damage would have to face the music, and eventually you would see the numbers drop. Maybe I'm wrong, but who knows? Mr. Taylor, now I’m afraid to drive!

The police and law enforcement want pre-packaged convictions, nothign thaty they may have to work for.
