Armenian Police  to test drivers for drug intoxication themselves -  MIA project 

ArmInfo.  The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Armenia has initiated legislative  amendments to allow the police to use technical means to detect drug  intoxication. The document has been published on the unified portal  of legal acts.

According to the document, in accordance with current legislation,  the police can use technical means to test a person's (driver's)  sobriety by measuring the alcohol content in exhaled air  (verification of intoxication). In cases of suspicion (sufficient  grounds) of driving under the influence, verification is done solely  through blood or urine tests conducted by medical organizations. Law  enforcement officials are now proposing to provide for the  possibility of using technical means to verify drug intoxication and  impose administrative penalties on this evidence.
