I decide to take my motorcycle around 3:30am to buy some foods because im totally hungry but unfortunately a police confront me and test me of alcohol check. My level of alcohol is 0.47mg/l. I am not drunk that time im totally okay but the alcohol content is still there thats why was arrested by the police.

Probably not, but likely depends on your ARC status.
If you are on a marriage ARC, definitely not.
Because you are a foreigner? No.

Probably reeked.
Is Taiwan zero tolerance?
His BAC isn’t high at all.
That blood alcohol level can land you in prison. You need a lawyer.

He said totally ok, that why i asked. Totally ok will stay far away from ops when drinking . Love to hear more of your story , hope you get some legal advice
Not high??? Where are you, must drink a lot there.
Isn’t that 0.047 BAC?
That’s just over half the legal limit in the US.
Thanks. I was calculating it wrong. So he was probably about 25% over the US limit if I’m doing it right now.
The legal limit in Taiwan is 0.15mg/L (BAC 0.03%) . The OP’s blood alcohol level is more than 3 times the legal limit.
