EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two Metropolitan Police officers are seen engaged in the use of an Intoximeter 3000, a piece of advanced technology used for measuring alcohol levels during the 1970s. The officers, dressed in their formal uniforms with shirt sleeves rolled up, are located in a dimly lit room at New Scotland Yard in London. One officer is blowing into a long tube connected to the machine, while the other officer carefully monitors the results on the paper strip that is being printed out. The Intoximeter 3000, a bulky and imposing piece of equipment, sits between them, its white surface adorned with epaulettes and other identifying markings of the Metropolitan Police. The Intoximeter 3000 represented a significant advancement in the field of alcohol measurement technology during the 1970s. Its use was instrumental in the enforcement of drunk driving laws and the maintenance of public safety. The paper strip, which was produced as a result of the breath test, provided a clear and objective measurement of the alcohol content in the breath, making it an essential tool for law enforcement agencies. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of the past, when technology and law enforcement intersected to ensure the safety and security of the public. The officers' focused expressions and the seriousness of the situation are palpable, emphasizing the importance of their work. The use of the Intoximeter 3000 was a critical part of their daily routine, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the technological advancements that have shaped the history of law enforcement.
