Breathalyzer Test

  • Police often require suspects to give a breath sample to determine their level of intoxication
  • These devices measure the alcohol content of air exhaled from deep in the lungs
  • Although there are several different types of devices, blowing air through a small tube is required of all of them
  • It is important to note that the results of a breathalyzer give an estimate of actual blood alcohol content
  • However the estimate is extremely accurate and is often a crucial piece of evidence for the prosecution
  • Breathalyzer devices must be carefully calibrated every 6 months

The results of a breathalyzer are often the most powerful piece of evidence used by the prosecution to prove your guilt in a court of law. However, breathalyzers are far from foolproof, and it is very possible to have the results thrown out if it can be proven that those results are inaccurate or tainted in some way. It takes a knowledgeable and experienced attorney to understand and utilize all the possible avenues of defense available to you to their fullest potential. Get yourself a FORMER PROSECUTOR today!
