Jolly Ranchers, Sage and Breath Mints (A closer look at drug field tests)

I once registered 0.0259 BAC (the limit for my license is 0) when I was pulled over at the bottom of my street. The cop had been setup there several times over the course of a few weeks, and consistently pulled me over for a random breath test. I had not had any alcohol for over 24 hours, and when I had some alcohol the day before it was less than 3 drinks.

I asked for a second reading, as the first must be incorrect but yet it was the exact same. Maybe the device was faulty or something, but it showed me that at any point, whether you think you are doing something safely or even legally, it does not mean that you will actually be doing so in the eyes of these tools that the police rely so heavily on. He let me go on my way, I could have easily lost my license because of that. Once you have a drinking driving or drug flag on your license, you will be pulled over and checked far more than those that do not, even if you are not charged with anything.
