Secondly - perp always can request blood test if he/she does not agree with tube results.

I'm not going to argue with you on the internet over it. But I can tell you this. I do this every day, 100's of times per year. The Intoxalyzer 8000 (99% used nationwide at police stations) will give you false readings on tons of stuff. Even belching, jewelry, braces, gum you name it will give you false readings way over the legal limit. This is why the officer administering the breath test must observe the subject to make sure nothing was put in the mouth and they did not ingest anything prior to the test. Not to mention the FST's are nothing more than roadside exercises. No one will pass those.
