    It still blows my mind that they’re apparently commonly used in the US instead of breathalysers like everywhere else.

    Of course they’re also using polygraph tests. So at least they’re consistent in using shit testing methods.

      At least polys can’t be used in court. I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult for a lawyer to get things tossed if their only rationale was a poly test.
