The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. In response to a police officer’s demand for alcohol measurement, the Defendant, as well as the misunderstanding of facts, included a concealment in a drinking measuring instrument on several occasions, but did not have a drinking measuring instrument due to machinery malfunction, etc.
Although the Defendant demanded a police officer to take a blood sampling test, the police officer did not illegally receive such test.
As such, although the defendant did not intend to refuse to measure drinking, the judgment of the court below convicting the defendant of the facts charged of this case is erroneous in the misapprehension of facts and legal principles.
B. The sentence sentenced by the lower court to the Defendant (the penalty amounting to five million won) is too unreasonable.

At this time, the measurement conducted to identify whether a driver is under the influence of alcohol should be understood as a measurement conducted by a respiratory measuring instrument which objectively converts the degree of the main body from the pulmonary test, i.e., a driver's voluntary cooperation.
