After disinfecting his hands with alcohol and blowing the breathalyzer, a police officer from the Bihor Traffic Police had a blood alcohol level of 0.26. Without consuming alcohol, the agent did an experiment and found that the device gives such errors.
Tavi Perțea, an agent from the Bihor Traffic Police Brigade conducted an experiment, assisted by his colleagues, and found that after ingesting alcohol to disinfect himself, he tested positive for alcohol, although he had not consumed it. alcohol.
Known for his campaign against drunk driving, Tavi Perțea wanted to see what happens if you use alcohol as a disinfectant:
“We are continuing the series of experiments we did with the new #alcooltest model of the traffic police team. In this episode, I review a myth that has been common lately, especially in the context of the early COVID 19 coronavirus pandemic. 2020, that is, if alcohol comes out in expired air, after you have #disinfected your hands with alcohol.
To do the test under the same conditions, I simulated a traffic stop by the traffic police, I disinfected myself with alcohol on my hands, but also the documents, and then I blew the test from the breathalyzer. The result is surprising. This is a campaign against driving under the influence that belongs to me and that does not represent an official point of view ”, wrote Perțea along with the video published on her YouTube channel, writes Libertatea.
To perform the test, the police officer performed both passive tests, blowing towards the device, and active tests, actually blowing the breathalyzer test. And the result was surprising: 0.26 mg / liter of pure alcohol in expired air.
Disinfection with alcohol and chlorine is recommended in the authorities’ communications. It is specified that in addition to soap, medical alcohol should be used to wash hands. It should be noted that it is 70 degrees, while alcoholic beverages, for the most part (for example, vodka is between 37 and 40 degrees).
A blood alcohol level of 0.10 mg / l means that a person has 1 part of pure alcohol for every 10,000 parts of blood.
Up to a certain limit, alcoholism is punishable only for minor offenses, but at a higher value it becomes a criminal problem.
Thus, an alcohol level of up to 0.40 mg / liter of pure alcohol in expired air is punishable by a fine of 21 to 50 points and the suspension of the permit for 6 months.
According to Romanian legislation, when drivers are caught with an alcohol intake equal to or greater than 0.40 g / l of pure alcohol in the exhaled air (minimum 0.80 g / l of pure alcohol in the blood), the act constitutes a crime and is punishable by imprisonment for 1 to 5 years or a criminal fine.
