Main Issues
The case holding that an act of compelling a suspect to commit an act for the purpose of measuring drinking shall not be deemed a legitimate official performance.
Summary of Judgment
It seems to be only for the measurement of alcohol to lead a suspect. This is for the purpose of securing evidence for the crime of violation of the Road Traffic Act, and it is obvious that the suspect was not subject to the verification warrant of the judge without the consent of the suspect. Therefore, it cannot be viewed as legitimate execution of official duties because it is an illegal forced investigation which is not allowed under the Criminal Procedure Act.
