Memo to Drunk Readers: State Police Suspend Breathalyzers


Are you a frequently drunk driver? Good news! The state has temporarily suspended the use of its breathalyzer tests, after it was found that the model it was using was defective. But there’s a catch. You will now simply be taken to a hospital instead for blood work. Which actually means that if you’re also taking drugs, which is not discernable via Intoxilyzer 5000EN (actual name), you’re getting double booked. So, what seems like a woo, is probably really a boo, for all you DUI aficionados. For more context, read Christopher Moraff’s piece. [Inquirer]
