Basically I'm gonna summarise everything
I got breatherlised at 11:10pm roadside
I blew 38.
Got arrested and at 12:30am I blew 43.
My reading went up in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
From the moment I got pulled over I put 3 pieces of chewing gum in my mouth so the police wouldn't suspect my breath but because I overtook a car the police said they have to breatherlise me anyway.
I was coughing ALOT just before I did the breath tests (roadside and in the station) as I got a coughing problem. Even while I was in the station I still had that chewing gum in my mouth and did the breath test again with that same chewing gum in my mouth - the officer asked me every question in the book (did you eat anything.. did you drink anything.. did you inhale anything... did you inject anything..) just normal questions but they never asked me if I'm chewing anything and I was chewing it dramatically.
Also on roadside I just had a cigarette and the officer waited 3 minutes to be exact after I stopped smoking before he breatherlised me.
Any advice will be appreciated as I pleaded not guilty and have a trial next month. I don't believe they followed the correct procedure.
