Device Calibration Issues
A breathalyzer must be calibrated regularly to ensure that it provides accurate readings. Without proper calibration according to the manufacturer's specifications, the test can return false positives or grossly misrepresent a person's true BAC level.
Our attorneys know how to discern if the calibration records for the device used in your case are up-to-date and properly documented. If the maintenance is questionable, this aspect can be a focal point of your defense.
Improper Administration by Law Enforcement
The credibility of a breathalyzer test greatly depends on how the law enforcement officer administers the test. There are standardized procedures which, if not followed, can invalidate the results.
Officers need comprehensive training to correctly use these devices and interpret the results. Any deviation from standard protocol could introduce doubt into your test results, offering a plausible argument in your defense.
Physiological and Environmental Factors
Several physiological conditions such as acid reflux, diabetes, or even diet can affect breathalyzer readings. Environmental factors like temperature and the presence of chemicals can also distort the BAC estimate.
We will tirelessly review the circumstances of your breathalyzer test to determine whether any of these factors could have skewed your results. A thorough understanding of these elements can be employed to reinforce your case.

Dismissal of Evidence Due to Error
One possible outcome when challenging a flawed test is the complete dismissal of breathalyzer evidence. This can be due to calibration errors, improper administration, or other valid objections regarding the device's accuracy.
Successfully arguing for the dismissal of such evidence can drastically sway the direction of your DUI case, potentially leading to reduced charges or even a full dismissal. This is a strong point of consideration as you build your defense.
Motion to Suppress Erroneous Results
Your attorney can file a motion to suppress breathalyzer results if they believe the test was administered incorrectly or if the device was not functioning as it should. This can be quite a strategic move in court.
The suppression of these results can hinder the prosecution's case against you, as they often rely heavily on BAC readings to prove intoxication. Without reliable BAC evidence, the case could lean more in your favor.
Challenging Test Accuracy in Testimony
Sometimes the most compelling part of a defense is the expert testimony regarding the reliability of the breathalyzer test. With Grimes & Price, we provide access to seasoned professionals who can testify about potential errors and how they might have impacted your BAC readings.
Their testimony can question the reliability of the breathalyzer used in your case and introduce reasonable doubt among the jury or judge, which is often all it takes to turn the tide in a courtroom.
