If you live in MX City. Bonsoir, mes chers lecteurs, comment ça va?
I recently came across an Alcoholimeter Checkpoint (that's what we call breathalyzers here, Alcoholimeter) and the police officers there were kind enough to let me snap this photo of it.
The breathalyzer is an Intoxilyzer® 400 Made by CMI Inc. Breathalyzers are not 100% accurate and might produce abnormally low or high alcohol counts given a situation. Here in Mexico, if you believe you have been detained unjustly due to a wrong B-Alyzer test, you can request a blood test, which the state must provide. Also, so you know, onion, mouthwash or breathmints can fool a person but not one of these, before you try anything funny. Oh, mind you, the checkpoints have a towing truck readily available, so if you don't pass the test, I do believe your vehicle gets towed, so to add insult to injury, you would have to go get it an pay an extra fine too.
Rêves Doux, chers lecteurs!

Adding insult to injury? What are you doing driving drunk anyway?
Would you rather pay medical expenses and/or funeral services?
And... don't you think the Alcoholimeter looks like it was stolen from a Sci-fi flick from the 60's? =P
Oh x Dios! Una vez me detuvieron en insurgentes para revisar si no iba tomado... Y sí, había tomado, pero la doctora que se asomó a verificar creo que no se dio cuenta jijiji! Tuve suerte que no desconfiaran de mí y usaran el aparatito! =D
