I am California auto accident attorney Mark C. Blane and I began my legal career helping ordinary folks obtain justice from their injuries due to the negligence of another. I went to law school knowing I did not want to represent corporate interests; I wanted to be able to look a client in the eyes and help them in their time of need. If you or someone you love has been injured in any type of accident, I want you to know that you have my sympathy. As an injured accident victim myself, I understand the pain and feeling of helplessness that comes with being in an accident. I also understand the journey to recovery first hand.
I wrote this book to explain the mysteries surrounding a California drunk driving accident & injury case, and what you can do to educate yourself in the process. I want to make sure you understand your legal rights if you or a loved one was injured in a car accident by a drunk driver. The book discusses the legal rights of a drunk driving accident victim in the criminal and civil courts in California. It explains the laws on filing personal injury claims against the persons and businesses that serve alcohol to the drunk driver prior to an accident and discusses the victim’s right to California Insurance benefits after an accident. The insurance laws in California that apply to car accidents are very complicated and change on an almost daily basis.

Police Take Covert Breath Samples to Detect Dui
Police are sneaking samples of your breath to detect DUI
According to a law firm of San Diego DUI Lawyers and Drunk Driving Attorneys, there’s a hidden breath testing device being used on unsuspecting drivers who are being involuntarily tested for DUI. That’s right. This is no gimmick or urban wives’ tale, it’s a little known fact that Police Officers across the country are using covert and cleverly hidden Passive Alcohol Sensory Devices, also known as PAS, that are disguised in flash lights, pen caddies, and ticket book holders.
In an attempt to detect drunk drivers, or make a DUI arrest on a minor driver under age 21 who needs only a .01% BAC to be above the legal limit, the officer will wave the flashlight or object within 10 inches the driver’s face and mouth to capture a sneaky electronic whiff of their breath. They will then peek at the hidden breath test device to read the results, which typically provides either a positive or negative reading as to the presence of alcohol.
Grants & Donations are a source of Hidden Breath Testers
MADD, an acronym for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is a well known and influential political activist group persistent and vocal in lobbying for stricter DUI laws, increased enforcement, and more severe punishment for drunk drivers. MADD strongly supports and encourages the use of Passive Alcohol Sensors, and through grants, has provided PAS devices in bulk to several police agencies that lacked the funding to purchase the equipment.
Manufacturer and Distributor of Covert Breath Samplers
PAS International is one of half a dozen manufacturers and/or distributors of covert breathalyzers. PAS markets the “PAS IV Sniffer” flashlight at a retail price of $799, and a “PAS Clipmate” Model ticket book model for $449 each. Their website caters the to law enforcement market.
Passive DUI Sniffing is Sneaky
The passive hidden alcohol sensor defies the rule and belief that preliminary alcohol screening tests administered via a portable device are voluntary for adults. Obviously, secret samples obtained from these devices are not dependent on your consent or voluntary participation.
