Concerned About Blood Alcohol Content Readings Determined By An Intoxilyzer?
Use Texas State DUI Laws To Your Advantage!
You Can Cast Doubt On Test Results And Get This Evidence Thrown Out
Many people mistakenly believe that a person’s blood alcohol content can be accurately determined with a Breathalyzer, or in Texas what is known as an Intoxilyzer, test. The reality is that blood alcohol content can only be accurately determined by a blood sample.
For this reason, Texas state DUI laws have strict guidelines that must be adhered to for the results of an Intoxilyzer test to be admitted into evidence in court.
An Intoxilyzer can result in inaccurate readings for several reasons…
Human error in using the machine
Inadequate operator training
Maintenance issues and inadequate care of the machine
Problems with outside sources, such as radio frequencies, resulting in faulty readings
Malfunctions with the machine
Assumptions made by the machine in the calculation of your breath alcohol
The truth is that an Intoxilyzer does not always provide an accurate result.
