Booze detecting anti-fighting ankle bracelets

[colin_p]

Anyone seen these on the news?

They detect if a person has had a drink by sniffing their sweat every half an hour.

They are to be fitted to people who get caught fighting while drunk apparently. Those people will then have to remain sober for a period of time.

Something something something something....

A slice of ham between the device and the skin should sort it and off to the pub they shall go.

Bonkers, they should fit them to drink drivers as well.

It was on the one show a month ago, the guy tried to fool it but it knew somthing was wrong.

He put antipersperant on his skin to stop the sweat.

...so what happens if he does a bit of sweaty gardening? Does he get ambushed by burly officers as he digs the border?

I've just been for a sneaky few at lunch....wouldn't want it beeping at work all afternoon!
