Substance testing devices with photo identification

Abstract

A system which, in at least one embodiment, obtains a photographic image of an individual attempting to disengage an ignition interlock device or the like to assist in determining whether the individual is the same as one for whom the device is intended.

1 .- 34 . (canceled) 
   
   
       35 . An apparatus for capturing a photographic image of one or more individuals that may be impaired by a controlled substance, said apparatus comprising:
 a detection device adapted to test an individual to ascertain the degree to which the individual is affected by a controlled substance;   a photographic unit;   said photographic unit being operable, responsive to said detection device, to capture a photographic image of the individual being tested by said detection device; and   an interlock device associated with said detection device, said interlock device being adapted to engage to prevent operation of machinery if the test indicates that the individual is affected by a controlled substance beyond a predetermined threshold level.   
   
   
       36 . A method of capturing a photographic image of one or more individuals that may be impaired by a controlled substance, said method comprising the steps of:
 providing a photographic unit;   testing an individual to ascertain the degree to which the individual is affected by a controlled substance;   capturing a photographic image of the individual taking the test; and   preventing operation of machinery if said ascertaining step yields that the individual is affected by a controlled substance beyond a predetermined threshold level.
