Drunk on Soy Sauce!! - DUIOffice.com

In California, a new DUI law (VC 23154) has been passed that will make it unlawful for any person (adults too) who is on probation for a DUI to operate a motor vehicle at any time with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater.

The problem with Preliminary Alcohol Screening devices (PAS) is that they give alcohol readings for substances that are not alcohol. Don't have a glass of wine with dinner or soy sauce.....

If you noticed, we used Kikoman soy sauce. I have had readings from .02 as high as .26. Everyone is different.

[DGDAttorney]

You don't get the real message. The machine is designed to only read alcohol, or so it is claimed. Therefore, it should never read any other substance as alcohol, whether it be soy sauce or white bread or raspberry ice tea, which I have also gotten readings on. Not to mention the average person has a coefficient ratio of 2100:1, but what about the people with 2950:1 or the people with 800:1. 800:1 would mean that a person reading on the machine .13 would be .055, but they hide the code.

@newgtguy My point is he's claiming the machine has a problem, but he's using it in a completely hypothetical way. Either show it as a real world example, or this is just propoganda.

@Stueee1986: What do you do? What is your expertise in this area? What training have you had? Another member of MADD or just stupid or both? List your credentials, such as, toxicologist, (FAS), breath test training, BS in what science, and occupation. Isn't it great that you can hide cowardly, and then make accusations without knowledge? Why don't you do a video? Better yet get stopped, take the PAS test and field sobriety test you are not required to take in CA and go to jail then cry

Don, I just saw this video. What happened to the 15 minute waiting observation period? What happened to the second test? You should be ashamed of yourself. - Norm

@thenewwb Norm, the purpose of this test was to show that other substances register as alcohol. In fact, when I took the coarse I ate a half a piece of white bread and blew into the machine and got an alcohol reading. If this the Norm I think it is and I'm not sure because you didn't put in a last name you had me eat ha;f a piece of white bread in front of the class, blow into the machine and it registered as if I had had alcohol. Other substances register as alcohol.

This is clearly why breath testing is BAD for law abiding citizens.

Blood testing is the "Gold Standard" insist upon it if accused.

I lost my class A for a year after I refused both Breath and FST based on the Malfeasance of two CHP officers. When my attorney and I requested both video's from both CHP vehicles both video's were lost, damaged, or stolen.

My case was thrown out of court. I did plea out to a traffic offense non alcohol related.

Absent a court conviction and CHP videos the DMV upheld my suspension.

@DGDAttorney what about etg testing while on probation for dui? in urine testing. is that possible? or will they only test for alcohol and not its metabolites? i live in alabama

Soy Sauce DOES have alcohol in it as a preservative... that is why you only see kikkoman soy sauce in restaurants b/c they do not have alcohol in them. But traditional soy sauce have up to 5% alcohol!

[ShakeZor5kiii]

@DGDAttorney Too true, I live in a place where you get breathalyzer test every night. I was munching on my rice and soysauce when security came in to give the test. I blew a .022. I was told to rinse out my mouth and wait 15 minutes to blow again, which I did with a result of .001-.000.

Glad you have this up!

[Stueee1986]

@DGDAttorney I dont need to be a lawyer to point out the flaws in this 'experiment'. Im not commenting on the machine, or other things that you say give readings, so keep on topic. Im commenting on this video, and the test you showed which is far removed from reality yet you use it to back up your point. I think you need real world examples before you start suggesting 'a lot of innocent people will get hurt'.

@Stueee1986 You clearly don't understand the concept of "Reasonable Doubt."
