Untrue. If you are a class of person that that the police are interested in harassing, they only need an excuse to look around legally. Powdered donut residue, dirt, just a "suspicious smell" that has no need to be proven is enough to ruin your life even if you are eventually vindicated. There's a reason stop and frisk is no longer official policy in NYC

But this isn't stop and frisk. You've already been stopped. The policy is that everyone who gets stopped gets a breathalyzer. There's literally no way this can be used to hassle you any further than you've already been hassled. You've already been pulled over. If cops want to hassle you for donut powder they already can without the breathalyzer bit. This doesn't change when cops can pull you over.
