A Swiss breath lozenge called AntiPoleez claims that once you ___(1)___ one in your mouth, no one will know that you've been drinking. So does that apply to police? Officers say not a chance!
It might mask the alcohol, but for ___(2)___only!
Officer Rene Barraza has been with APD for roughly nine years and says he's seen people try it all to cover up their breath at DWI checkpoints. “Coins, umm, ammunition, gum, Tic Tac, Candy, food.”
But none of that helps when it comes to a Breathalyzer or field sobriety test. And the licorice-flavored AntiPoleez lozenge is no different. One look at the candy's website and the product's name may give someone the sense that it's a way to ___(3)___ a DWI.
But company officials say trying to fool officers is not their intention. In a written statement they say:" We give our law enforcement officials more credit than to think a lozenge could prevent a police officer from getting drunk drivers off the road before they hurt themselves or someone else. This is underestimating their professional observational skills."
Officer Barraza has a few words for ___(4)___ buyers who think popping one of the candies will get them ___(5)___ .
I'd tell them they're wasting their money. I'd tell them to give me the money instead and I'll give them better advice.
