Breathalyzers have proven to be an effective device used to determine if a suspect is driving while intoxicated (DWI). However, the accuracy of the breath test is now in question and causing controversy nationwide. A recent study of the breathalyzer showed that breath test can vary by at least 15 percent from the actual blood alcohol concentration results and approximately 2 out of every 8 individuals will have a blood alcohol concentration reading that shows a higher result than what it really is. What Is A Breathalyzer?Breathalyzer is a portable machine used by law enforcement officers to check if someone has had too much to drink while operating a motor vehicle. It measures the level of blood alcohol content (BAC) in a person’s breath to determine if the individual has a blood alcohol level above the legal limit and is too drunk to operate a motor vehicle. The breath test result is then used in drunk driving cases. Inaccurate DUI/DWI ConvictionsThis is not good news because what this means is that individuals who have been convicted for DUI/DWI charges may have had an inaccurate reading of the actual amount of blood alcohol content in their system, especially individuals who have received convictions of DWI solely on the basis of breathalyzer tests. The good news is that the innocent can challenge the results of the breathalyzer test and possibly prevent a DUI/DWI conviction.
