◇ Anchor> And let's point out that the police will conduct a special crackdown on drug driving. Everyone will be familiar with the drunk driving crackdown, but I've never heard of a special crackdown on drug driving. Did this happen?

◆Kim Sung-soo> Don't you have a lot of drinking at the end of the year? In that case, there is a high possibility of driving under the influence of alcohol for about two months. However, in this case, the crackdown period has been extended to about three months, and as you said, we will crack down on drug driving, so we are also interested in this.

◇Anchor> They say this is the first time the police have cracked down on drunk driving, but I'm curious about the way. I don't think drugs will be detected just because they breathe in like drunk driving, and how will they be tested?

◆Kim Sung-soo> Looking at the current police briefing data, there is a simple inspection kit. So, if you put saliva, or saliva, in the simple test kit, it is absorbed by the sponge, and if there is a positive drug test in a part after it is absorbed by the sponge, it seems to be a system in which a positive drug test comes out. It is not yet known exactly how accurate there is in that regard, so we need to wait and see about that.

◇Anchor> But the problem is that there is a loophole in cracking down. Don't the police have the authority to forcibly measure drunk driving? Is it true that drug measurements are not compulsory?

◆Kim Sung-soo> In the case of a breathalyzer test, it is said to be a crime of non-compliance with the breathalyzer test. Therefore, in Article 148-2 of the Road Traffic Act, if you refuse to comply, you may be punished if you are expected to have drunk driving. Therefore, it stipulates imprisonment for more than one year or less than five years, or fines of more than 5 million won or less than 20 million won. If you refuse to comply with drug driving or drug driving, there are no regulations that allow criminal punishment, so even if you get a warrant and inspect it later, you may not be able to arrest it at the scene. If you can't arrest him at the scene at the time, isn't there a big part where other victims can eventually occur in the process of driving, whether it's drunk driving or drug driving? Therefore, there is a story about whether there should be any effective revision of the law on that part.

◇Anchor> I think we can expect only an alarming effect for now, but I told you in the report a while ago.Ma is still slow to come up with related legislation in the National Assembly. What kind of punishment will I get if I get caught driving after taking drugs such as drugs?

◆Kim Sung-soo> For now, it could be punished for violating the Narcotics Control Act. In this regard, as I said, the Road Traffic Act stipulates imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 10 million won for driving by drugs or drugs. Some say that the actual risk is similar to drunk driving. In drunk driving, if it is more than 0.2 years, imprisonment for more than two years, or a fine of more than 10 million won, or less than 20 million won, can be considered very serious.

Therefore, there are some stories that say that there should be a revision on this part as well. In addition, if an accident occurs while driving with drugs and results in injury or death, there is a part that can be punished in the same way as drunk driving under the Special Price Act. However, since it can be punished very seriously in this regard, I think I have to say a little about this.
