Since our project is closely related to drunk driving, we went to the court and learned about laws associated with drunk driving in the morning of July 1st. After arriving at the court, Mr. Yu, a judge, gave us a lecture about the laws concerning drunk driving. Drunk driving could lead to a minimum penalty of being fined and a maximum of being sentenced to jail. I was shocked that the penalty for drunk driving could get so high. If people understood the severity of the punishment, I doubt if anyone would ever dare to drunk drive. That day, I gained an in-depth understanding towards drunk driving. I’d also like to encourage drivers to not drive while drunk. Also, we visited the civil and criminal trial processes; we were stunned by the agitation of the witnesses, the rationality of the prosecutor, the confidence of the lawyer, and the justice of the judge. We admired the patience of the judges, and were also appalled by the amount of efforts and money needed to run a court session. Last but not least, we shot a video of our project in the court, so we hope that everyone could give us some support while watching the video!

In the late afternoon of July 1st, we visited the Changhua Yuanlin police department. During our visit, we interviewed the vice chief of the department, and asked him problems regarding the sobriety test. He taught us how breathalyzers worked, one of our members even volunteered to take a sobriety test(whose result showed that she, of course, wasn’t drunk)! Afterwards, we learned the actual procedure of a sobriety test. Police officers first wielded devices that looked like a traffic baton to estimate the blood alcohol content of a simple breath(which doesn’t require any physical contact with the device). If the person taking the test exceeds the legal limit, he or she will then need to receive another test which involves a direct contact. Finally, we finished shooting our drama with the help of the police officers. Thanks to all the police officers, our mission to the police department went well and we learned a lot about the sobriety test.
