Is it useful for traffic police to check surveillance footage if they suspect a driver of drunk driving?

Checking surveillance footage is not useful for traffic police to confirm drunk driving, as the footage cannot serve as direct evidence to determine that a driver was drunk driving; it only plays a supplementary role. The basis for determining drunk driving is the alcohol content in the driver's blood. If the driver is not caught drunk driving on the spot, it is difficult for traffic police to directly confirm the offense. However, drivers should adhere to the principle of not driving after drinking. For those who drive under the influence of alcohol, the traffic management department of the public security authority will restrain them until they sober up, revoke their motor vehicle driving license, and hold them criminally liable according to the law. They will not be allowed to obtain a motor vehicle driving license again within five years. If a major traffic accident occurs due to driving after drinking or drunk driving, constituting a crime, criminal liability shall be pursued according to the law, and the traffic management department of the public security authority will revoke the motor vehicle driving license, with the driver permanently barred from obtaining a motor vehicle driving license again.
