Breathalyzers are a drunks worst nightmare. While some may be able to disguise their intoxicated prediciment through the use of gums, foods, other drinks, or other objects, once the cop whips out a breathalyser it’s all over. Or is it? For some time now, breathalyzers have come under scrutiny from many a prosecution arguing and fighting to see the source code that powers these modern day taddle tales. However the manufacturer, CMI, has time and time again vehemently refused citing “industry and company secrets” prevent them from doing so. So, who smells a fresh pie of BS baking in the oven? I do and boy am I hungry. So now that the Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that the source code must be turned over, CMI is going to happily comply right?
