Earlier i had to went through 2 police roadblocks in KL, at the first roadblock i was able to pass without a problem. However, i was stopped at the second roadblock, police man took the breathalyzer to examine my breath.
The police man said if it turns green, there will be no problem and he will let me go, if other than green he will have to take me back to the Balai.
The thing is I only drank 3 cups of whiskey coke mixed by the bartender, I was not dizzy or drunk, and I am a heavy drinker, so 3 cups of whiskey coke is nothing to me.
Well, the breathalyzer indicator turned yellow, so as usual, the normal play, 'Boss tolong la, saya pelajar miskin' & etc. so i explained to him nicely that my friend is drunk and i had to drive, and i argued with him that previously i encountered the same roadblock where the breathalyzer turned yellow and i had no problem.
This policeman was stubborn, i guess he wanted duit kopi, so i gave him RM70. I am not satisfied with the police's attitude and I am certain that I was in good condition, plus the fact, i always encounter roadblock, and the breathalyzer used this time is different, it looks like a small torchlight.
I know drink and drive is illegal, but I would like to know more so i can handle situations like this.
It is obvious that the policeman was asking for bribe because he was threatening to bring me back to balai and put me in lockup.
1. Is yellow over the limit?
2. What happens if i argued and followed him back to Balai?
3. What are my rights?
4. Honestly, by giving duit kopi, is that the only hassle free method?
