Good article about it in yesterday's Washington Post: Maverick N.Va. Judge Tosses Out DWI Cases That Presume Guilt By Tom JackmanWashington Post Staff WriterThursday, October 27, 2005; Page A01 A Fairfax County judge who believes Virginia's drunken driving laws are unconstitutional has begun dismissing cases, including five DWI cases in a week, and has threatened to throw a veteran prosecutor in jail for arguing with him. Judge Ian M. O'Flaherty made it known in July that he felt Virginia's DWI law unfairly deprived defendants of the presumption of innocence if breath tests showed that they had a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher, levels at which people are presumed to be intoxicated. <snip> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/26/ AR2005102602 572.html -- Kris On 10/28/05 17:49, "David Farber" <dave@farber.net> wrote: Begin forwarded message: From: Ed Biebel <edward@biebel.net>Date: October 28, 2005 10:22:45 AM EDTTo: dave@farber.netSubject: RE: [IP] more on Breathalyzers and Open Source In addition, I believe that in both Pennsylvania and New Jerseyagreeing tosubmit to a breathalyzer or blood test is a condition of having adriver'slicense. Refusing to take the test can result in an immediatesuspension ofyour driver's license (6 months to a year I believe). A friend of mine that is attorney recommended not refusing the tests(especially for a first offense) because he said that at trial a goodattorney would have leeway to present mitigating issues, challenge theaccuracy of the tests, plea to a lesser charge for a lightersentence, etc.However the refusal of the test was cut and dry and essentiallyresulted ina mandatory punishment. While IANAL and I'm not advocating people drink and drive (or avoidpunishment if they do), I thought this was an interesting legalperspectiveworth mentioning. -Ed -----Original Message-----From: David Farber [ mailto:dave@farber.net ]Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 5:14 PMTo: Ip IpSubject: [IP] more on Breathalyzers and Open Source Begin forwarded message: From: Bradley Roberts <br2@u.washington.edu>Date: October 25, 2005 4:04:40 PM EDTTo: David Farber <dave@farber.net>Cc: "Andrew D. Swart" <andrew@swart.com>Subject: Re: [IP] more on Breathalyzers and Open Source A friend got pulled over in front of me for some minor infraction(into a bike lane too early for a right turn, if I remembercorrectly). I knew he had come from a bar and had probably had atleast one drink. They started in on the normal dui tests (speech,eye, coordination, etc) in front of me. I had enough time beforethis to tell him not to submit to a breathalyzer as they'reinaccurate - he said that he was probably above the limit, so I toldhim that he could expect that they'd figure this out and he'd betaken to the police station for a blood test if he refused abreathalyzer. By refusing to submit to the breathalyzer, under CA law (or at leastin San Luis Obispo), the officers have the option to place the personunder arrest and take them in for more thorough evaluation. They didthis - unfortunately for my friend, he didn't take well to beinghandcuffed and started to argue/resist. Probably would have beentreated better had he not. Ultimately his blood was tested and wasfound above the legal limit. He made a bad choice and is stillpaying the consequences but no one was hurt. However, it should be clear that if you refuse to take a breathalyzertest, you MAY be arrested. Whether or not you've ever had a drop ofalcohol in your life. Refusing the test is within your rights, butan officers suspicion will quickly place you in shackles and you'llbe subjected to the more reliable (and repeatable) tests.

A local attorney (Santa Barbara) regularly takes out full page ads in local papers seeking DUI clients, but also advising people of their rights during a suspected DUI stop. One of his biggest pieces of advice: refuse under all circumstances an invitation to take a breathalyzer test. He points out that the portable technology is flawed and the results can't be verified independently (only a single sample). Instead, do no resist, if law enforcement insists, taking a blood or urine test. More reliable and samples remain for independent testing at later stage. Warning: refusing a breathalyzer test (but not the other tests) in California is reportedly within our rights; this may not be the case in all other states.

Perhaps through its elaborate and creative marketing, the most basic, yet important fact about alcohol is often overlooked — alcohol is a drug — the most commonly used and widely abused psychoactive drug in the world. One concept that many people find difficult to accept is that alcoholism and alcohol problems are a disease. Research has shown that alcohol interacts with the body’s systems in predictable ways to lead to physiological addiction. Alcoholism is a disease — a chronic, progressive, fatal disease if not treated. Short Term Effects Even at low doses, alcohol significantly impairs the judgment and coordination required to drive a car or operate machinery safely. Low to moderate doses of alcohol can also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including domestic violence and child abuse. Effects of moderate alcohol intake include dizziness and talkativeness. The immediate effects of a larger amount of alcohol include slurred speech, disturbed sleep, nausea, and vomiting. Hangovers are another effect after large amounts of alcohol are consumed — symptoms including headache, nausea, thirst, dizziness, and fatigue. Long Term Effects Prolonged, heavy use of alcohol can lead to addiction (alcoholism). Sudden cessation of long term, extensive alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Long-term effects of consuming large quantities of alcohol can lead to: • permanent damage to vital organs • several different types of cancer • gastrointestinal irritations, such as nausea, diarrhea, and ulcers • malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies • sexual dysfunctions • high blood pressure • lowered resistance to disease Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome . These infants may suffer from mental retardation and other irreversible physical abnormalities. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other children of becoming alcoholics. Federal Classification Alcohol is a legal purchased product for adults.

Remember — impairment begins with the first drink . Alcohol affects individuals differently. Your blood alcohol level is affected by your age, weight, gender, time of day, physical condition, prior amount of food consumed, other drugs or medication taken, and a multitude of other factors. In addition, different drinks may contain different amounts of alcohol, so it’s important to know how much and the concentration of alcohol you consume . The body metabolizes alcohol at the rate of about one drink per hour . Does drinking strong coffee or taking a cold shower have an effect on the person who is drunk? The answer is yes — the result being an alert, cold, and wet drunk. Time, and only time can sober a person up . A woman of equivalent weight drinking an equal amount of alcohol in the same time period of time as a man may have a higher blood alcohol concentration than that man. Therefore, women should refer to the BAC chart for women .

Direct and indirect causes of death include drunk driving, cirrhosis of the liver, falls, cancer, and stroke. 1 At least once a year, the guidelines for low risk drinking are exceeded by an estimated 74% of male drinkers and 72% of female drinkers aged 21 and older. 2 65% of the youth surveyed said that they got the alcohol they drink from family and friends. 7 Nearly 14 million Americans meet diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorders. 5 Youth who drink alcohol are 50 times more likely to use cocaine than those who never drink alcohol. 3 Among current adult drinkers, more than half say they have a blood relative who is or was an alcoholic or problem drinker. 1 Across people of all ages, males are four times as likely as females to be heavy drinkers. 1 More than 18% of Americans experience alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence at some time in their lives. 6 Traffic crashes are the greatest single cause of death for persons aged 6–33. About 45% of these fatalities are in alcohol-related crashes. 4 Underage drinking costs the United States more than $58 billion every year — enough to buy every public school student a state-of-the-art computer. 2 Alcohol is the most commonly used drug among young people. 1 Problem drinkers average four times as many days in the hospital as nondrinkers — mostly because of drinking-related injuries. 1 Alcohol kills 6½ times more youth than all other illicit drugs combined. 2 Concerning the past 30 days, 50% of high school seniors report drinking, with 32% report being drunk at least once. 2 Sources 1 Substance Abuse: The Nation’s Number One Health Problem, Feb. 2001 2 Mothers Against Drunk Driving 3 National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse 4 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 5 Alcohol Health & Research World 6 National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Analysis 7 The Century Council Contact Us | Agency Services | Site Map | Directory of Resources © 2002–2006 GDCADA, All Rights Reserved.
