Supreme Court Rules Breathalyzer Results Without Mouthwash Inadmissible
Original: Supreme Court Rules BAC Measurements Without Mouthwash Inadmissible
South Korea's Supreme Court has ruled that blood alcohol concentration measurements taken when a driver has not first rinsed with mouthwash are inadmissible as evidence in drunk driving cases. The decision affects how breathalyzer tests are administered by police and could lead to dismissals or reduced penalties in ongoing prosecutions where the procedure was not followed.
Why now: The ruling changes standard police breath-testing procedure and could impact many existing drunk driving cases.
