Question: I used mouthwash before being pulled over – could that affect my roadside breath test results?
Answer: What I’ve got is a PBT. It’s what the officers use a lot of times at the side of the road to decide whether they’re going to take you to jail. It’s fuel cell technology, it’s not reliable. Let me show you why I would say that. What I want you to do is take a deep breath and blow as hard as you can until I tell you to stop. Keep blowing hard. Keep blowing, keep blowing, keep blowing. Ok, that’s fine. As you will see, she’s blowing 000; she has no alcohol in her system. Now then, what I’d ask you to do is just take a couple squirts, just get your breath nice and fresh. Now then, take a deep breath and blow as hard as you can. Keep blowing, ok. 0.259—three times the legal limit. Are you ready to go to jail?
