Patent ID: 7292153

Claim:
A system for remotely detecting a vehicle driver's blood/alcohol level while the driver is seated within the vehicle during operating conditions, said system comprising: a portable laser beam generating device directly operated by a law enforcement officer; means for remotely detecting a real-time level of acetaldehyde in a blood stream of the driver, said acetaldehyde level detecting means being located within a law enforcement vehicle and directly operable by a law enforcement officer; means for visually displaying the acetaldehyde level in such a manner that the law enforcement officer can quickly and accurately determine whether the acetaldehyde level has exceeded a predetermined legal threshold level, said visually displaying means being electrically coupled to said acetaldehyde level detecting means; and means for monitoring a real-time location of the vehicle driver so that the law enforcement officer can track and apprehend the driver from a remote distance, said real-time location monitoring means being electrically coupled to said visually displaying means; wherein said device transmits a wireless first signal toward the driver, said first signal having a first monochromatic radiation level, said first signal bouncing of the driver and returning a second signal towards said acetaldehyde level detecting means wherein a radiation intensity level of said second signal is analyzed for determining the acetaldehyde level in the blood steam of the driver, said second signal having a second monochromatic radiation level.
