| Lindsay Lohan's DUI Preventing, Alcohol-Detecting, Ankle Bracelet |
| Posted By Admin |
 |
Lindsey Lohan currently wears the SCRAMx alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet , a $1,500 device, made by AMS. Lindsey's judge was anything but pleased when she learned that Lindsey attended the Cannes Film Festival in France, skipping a court hearing she had last week.
Other celebrities have been forced to wear the device: rapper Eve, and retired basketball player Jayson Williams.
This ankle bracelet can restrict people to their homes. It acts very much like a Breathalyzer does, but rather than using one's breath to check alcohol levels, it traces the alcohol levels every half hour through the perspiration on the skin. If it detects alcohol, then that triggers a chemical reaction in the device, and that information is sent to the company, which then alerts the necessary people.
Obviously with gadgets like these, come the smart-alecs who think that they can outsmart it. There have been stories of those who have attempted to tamper with the ankle bracelet, but the gadget has sensors, which know if tampering has occurred.
The newest version of the gadget is much smaller and lighter than the first models.

| DUI Stop -- Officer Shot |
| Posted By Admin |
|
A Santa Monica police officer stopped a vehicle for a DUI check. When the officer administered the sobriety test, the passenger shot the officer in the abdomen, just missing his bullet-proof vest.
The officer shot back at the gunman, but was unable to capture him at first. At approximately 5:10 a.m., the police found the suspect and engaged in another shoot-out. The gunman was hit and hospitalized.
The officer who was shot, was hospitalized and is said to be in good condition. The suspect's condition, however, is uncertain.
Driving under the influence is charged when law enforcement suspects that you are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. During this questioning you may be asked to perform field sobriety tests, along with urine or blood/breath tests to determine your BAC (blood alcohol content). Anytime your BAC is 0.08% or higher you are considered above the legal limit and determined to be intoxicated.
