Certain devices used for Aruba breath tests have been temporarily taken out of service while the Public Prosecutor’s Office and police investigate how their results are calculated, 24ora reported on November 4.
Internal checks prompt precaution
The investigation concerns whether calculations comply with applicable legal rules. The issue emerged during an internal check, and external experts are involved in further examination. The withdrawal is described as a precaution involving the devices in question, not proof that every previous result was incorrect.
Impaired-driving enforcement continues
Authorities said checks on driving under the influence will continue without interruption using other available investigative methods. They said no definitive conclusions could yet be drawn about measurement results or individual criminal cases. Further information is expected when the investigation permits.
