It's seems as if in this world, not only can people not lie, but they also offer up very personal information without being asked.

[@mickgay6250]

People do that in real life too. Only they still do the lying part.

[@Fh8919]

Yup. But that's because a world where people don't lie is boring. It is much funnier if people also blurt out whatever they think about, even if that doesn't fit the movie concept

[@thesteve120]

JokinglySerious but they could just ask the Policeman, he can't lie

[@TopThrillCedarPoint]

Cynical Lawman He flat out tells him he has been drinking, but he needs to be over a certain limit to go to jail, so he has to do the breathalyzer to see if he is over that limit.

[@thesteve120]

TopThrillCedarPoint Or the policeman could just ask what he's had to drink....again people can't lie.

[@TopThrillCedarPoint]

Cynical Lawman But he might not remember all that he's had to drink, or when he's had them so he would just say he doesn't know. He might not know how much alcohol content is in the drinks either. A breathalyzer is just a tool to see how much blood alcohol content there is in his system at that exact moment. He couldn't just know that and neither could the cop, so he has to see if he is in fact over the legal limit at that particular time, so it would still be necessary.

This one time, in the 80's, me and my buddy Dan Brown were sitting in his car in the school parking lot at lunch. Listening to music. Eating lunch. Suddenly the Vice Principle, Stu Elliot, was banging on the window. We rolled it down "Hey Mr Elliott!" "Oh thank God." He said. "You guys aren't smoking pot. I was so scared I was going to have to bust you." Mr Elliott was an okay guy. We were lucky to have him at our school.

You know, in a world where people can not lie (and nothing much else seens different; for example, they don't seem to have a taboo against exploiting soneone's inability to lie), weeding out criminals from organizations (and even catching them) should be easy. -- "Do you take bribes?" -- "Do you use drugs?" -- "Do you harass Blacks?" Or "Are you embezzling the company's money?"

[@The_Sigillite]

You're logic is sound here, but I do also thing we would end up in state of placid ignorance because we just expect people to be truthful. That's how I explain society in this universe at least.

[@DaFrancc]

@@a.demifemiflapo5795 if you were looking to rent an apartment and the landlord fails to mention that at night, the neighbors play loud music throughout the night, that would be considered lying by omission. Forgetting things or omitting irreverent details isn't typically lying, like you aren't lying to your teacher if you got the wrong answer on a test.

Point of the breathalyzer: 1) to determine if he's legally drunk. You can still drink and drive if you're not over the legal limit 2) comedy. This is a totally improbable movie anyway, so who cares?
