The holidays for Vilnius Justina Kupryte started with an unpleasant surprise that happened near Kaunas. A breathalyzer provided by officers showed that both she and the adult passenger had an average intoxication rate (1.4 and 1 avg). Another drunken device claimed that they were both sober.
It was not enough that a girl who did not drop a drop faced criminal liability and a car was impounded. Such sanctions will be applied when established at 1.51 prom. and more intoxication.
If the controller is set to 1.4 avg. drunkenness, threat of a fine, revocation of driver’s license for 12 to 18 months.
On Monday, J. Kuprytė went from Vilnius to Nida with two more passengers. Long awaited vacation.
On the road, while reacting to a dropped phone used for navigation, the car rocked. “Someone thought we were drunk. He called the police “, – a resident of Vilnius decided from more events, talking to the portal kauno.diena.lt.
In Kaunas, the crew briefly pulled off the road. Then I already noticed that they are detained.
“The officials asked for a driver’s license. He said he has a message that we drive drunk. We drove with the boy. I say how drunk we can ride with a minor. He brought the breathalyzer. As appropriate, he ordered himself to take off the nozzle. When I blow, I see a red light, ”recalled J. Kuprytė on a bad day. The numbers on the breathalyzer display were 1.4 avg.
I knew he was right: I was driving sober and I thought it would prove my truth.
Light drunkenness Officials, according to the Vilnius resident, warned that they would not be able to continue driving and asked if there would be someone to drive their car. The bride sitting next to him has a driver’s license. Your sobriety is also put to the test here. What a surprise. And she was supposed to be drunk, although they both loved not tasting a drop of alcohol.
Surprised by what the breathalyzer showed in both cases, he asked the officers to verify his sobriety with him. Impossible. Maybe a child can swell? With the consent of the mother. Turns out not too.
What thoughts do you have in mind? “My friend was scared, we were driving her car. I knew she was right: she was driving sober and I thought it would prove my truth. It was sad to have to waste my time,” said J. Kuprytė.
Officials told the troika that if those inspected did not agree with the Breathalyzer readings, they could go to a medical center to have blood taken there and determine the amount of alcohol it contained.
Not wanting to waste time, J. Kuprytė decided to order another breathalyzer. “I know I didn’t drink. A second official car showed up. Both my friend and I inflated the zeros. The officials wrote something and gave it to us to sign. We didn’t want to do that, but we said it was necessary to sign after 1.4 prom. He explained that all the readings must be recorded, ”said the driver, who did not receive a copy of the signed document.
“I was surprised by another moment: although it was a driver that officials suspected was drunk, they did not ask me to come to their official car. The patrols kept coming to our car, returning to theirs. They always asked us something. Is that really the case? “Asked the interlocutor.
He made his story public on the social network, transmitting wishes to the guardian angels of Kaunas and wishing that ordinary citizens knew their rights.
As Odeta Vaitkevičienė, head of the Communication Branch of the Kaunas County Police Chief’s Station, told the portal kauno.diena.lt, this is the first case this year.
“When verifying intoxication or intoxication of a person (driver), police officers must strictly follow the legislation governing this procedure and the instructions for use of the measuring devices.
“A police officer who detects signs of intoxication (smell of alcohol in the mouth (a non-contact alcohol detector can be used to detect this sign), inappropriate behavior, incoherent language, uncoordinated movements) assesses the general condition of the person from according to the General Personality Assessment Methodology (unless this is not possible due to the individual’s health status). If there is reasonable suspicion that a person is intoxicated, he or she will offer to be tested for intoxication and orally explain the legal consequences of refusing to submit to a medical examination or examination. Before checking, ask how long it has been since the person consumed alcohol. After evaluating the time indicated by the person for alcohol consumption and according to the conditions specified in the alcohol meter manufacturer’s instructions, you will need to perform an inspection.
The periodicity of the meteorological control to measure the amount of alcohol in the body and blood from breathalyzers, gas chromatographs and other measuring instruments is 6 months. Officials from the Kaunas County Police Chief Commissariat Highway Police Board use measuring devices valid only for meteorological inspection during patrols.
If the intoxication of a person has been carried out without violating the instructions for use of the alcohol content and the legal acts regulating the determination of intoxication, the person (driver) will not have the right to request an intoxication test with another alcohol meter. However, a person has the right to disagree with the results of the examination no later than one hour after the examination, and if detained, to request to be taken to a personal health care institution for a medical examination. at his charge, “said Kaunas, a police representative.
