I imagine the moment these start being implemented there will be a bunch of how-to guides on the internet for ripping out the sensors and rewiring the connectors to perpetually give a "sober" reading.

This will absolutely sprout a new cottage industry. I knew a guy who happened to be a mechanic and knew exactly how to bypass his court-mandated breathalyzer. He was very, very mad when the state upgraded their equipment to a version he couldn't easily get around.

I'd expect that doing so would result in a serious upgrade to the charges if one is later arrested for drunk driving in that car, leading to a great increase in the probability of significant jail time.

Seems like the easy solution there is to not drive drunk.
