Julio Demorizi, a doctor specializing in infectious diseases, is warning Metropolitan Transit Authority officers (AMET) that repeat use of the tips on the new breathalyzers may be dangerous as it would be a conduit for transmitting disease and infections. Demorizy says that the tips on the machines should be disposable, as is the case in the United States. He said that AMET officers should break open the plastic for a new tip in front of the driver before testing and the tip should not be stored in the trunk of the police vehicle for re-use. If this is not done, the driver should have the right to refuse the breath test, in Dr. Demorizi's opinion.
