Especially since international flights might have installed spares, so no cancellation.

False positive.

She was removed by authorities so there was no choice but to take action on the flight.

Multiple tests. Multiple negatives.

She was held an insanely long time and released.

False positive.

But the damage is done thanks to then “news”.
Glad to hear, she's good with job/career.

In Sweden? I doubt it. Most especially if the offender is a person of governance.

i imagine their cops have something similar to QI which renders them immune to lawsuits. Even if they don’t, they probably have laws set up to shield them from lawsuits. The fact they didn’t identify her will probably be enough to keep them from having any liability

the press didn’t report anything that was not made public by the police.

its terrible what happened to her but odds are she is SOL on getting any kind of meaningful payment for having her reputation trashed.
I would sue the brakes off that company that makes faulty equipment, the police for not properly calibrating the breathalyzer… there’s negligence there.. ruined her name and possibly career

Any particular reason you’d assume you can’t get compensated for a government action shown to have been harmful and incorrect?

Overseas?? Heck, it's pretty hard to file litigation in Canada and Sweden leans a bit more progressive than our neighbors to the north.

My point was more so that Rickairs post reads “you can’t sue the state in a communist country.” Fact is if you can prove it, you are entitled to damages. It’s the law.

  • Stop while walking to regain balance
  • Take an incorrect number of steps
  • Use arms to balance
You are foolish to even attempt the field sobriety test. It is not designed to prove sobriety. Better call Saul!

Portable breath testing when compared to a chemical test at a hospital or a fixed breathalyzer machine at the police station are two different things. While likely not an option in this case it is wise to consider refusing any sort of field sobriety testing. Or least spend a few minutes researching the difference between a portable tester and the more accurate....and legally binding ones.
