DUI Bite Plate
Fail the test

The DUI bite plate allows you to fail a Breathalyzer test even if you are not drunk. A small port in the plate is pressed against the intake of the machine and you exhale through the plate. The alcohol exchange barrier inside the plate laces your breath with alcohol to ensure a failure of any DUI test.

This Idea was edited from its original form.

       PRO DUI bite plate?

       Sorry, but if you're driving drunk, you deserve the ticket. DUI isn't like speeding, where quick relexes and clear visiblity will usually get you along safely enough. Alcohol dulls your perception, slows your reflexes, and makes you dangerous to everybody within driving range of you. -

       I want to be clear that I am in no way trying to advocate drinking and driving. Just sharing an idea that popped into my head that seemed very halfbaked. (from the ill-advised perspective that is)   

       actually I have a better idea. Ive edited the idea, it is now far better as a Halfbaked idea.

       a small port? well o.k. if you insist.

       Damn! Once again, [po] beats me to the obvious joke.

       As opposed to a big chardonnay?

       You could always just spray breath-freshener into your mouth first

       I don't really know. Maybe you like prison? Maybe you want to experience it without putting others at risk. Seemed like a perfect place to apply a Halfbaked philosphy.

       Fail the breathalyzer, then smugly pass the evidential blood test with flying colours. Pros: avoid prison, get some attention. Cons: inconvenience yourself and others.   

       Also this device could be put to hilarious use in the workplace by huffing alcohol fumes as you speak, thus convincing colleagues, underlings etc. that you are clangered whilst performing important administrative tasks.

       If you want to go to jail that bad you can just do something else. If you are driving just fine, why would the cop pull you over in the first place to administer the test? You would have to be speeding. Just wear a shirt that says: Cops, you can <blank> my <blank> and go to them and make some trouble. Although, i'm not suggesting anybody actually do this.

       I have a shirt that has a list of things not to say to a policeman. It's quite amusing.
