LiveAmmo Security Blog: Drunk drivers granted access to breathalyser source code

If only I was able to be granted the source code for the laser detector that incorrectly clocked me over the speed limit…

I like when judges don’t treat technology as infallible. In my case, there was not any argument that could detract from the “evidence” , even the likely EMI!

"A panel of judges in the Florida county of Sarasota has granted a request by a group of over 150 citizens accused of drink-driving to view the source code of the breathalyser that was used to determine their breath alcohol levels.

Attorneys for the defendants had filed a motion to review the source code for the Intoxilyzer 5000 breathalyzer in October.
