Gwinnett County Breathalyzer
 |
|---|
A breathalyzer test measures the amount of alcohol in your breath to calculate how much alcohol is in your bloodstream. In Gwinnett County, law enforcement agencies use the Intoxilyzer 5000 to conduct breath tests on people who have been arrested for drunk driving. However, before you decide to plead guilty for DUI, you should know a few things about the Intoxilyzer 5000 that could help your case.
The Intoxilyzer 5000 is a computer, which means it uses codes in order to calculate your BAC. However, the manufacturer of the Intoxilyzer 5000 has refused to release its source code so it can be evaluated by an independent third party—even though several state courts have ordered them to release it. Without this independent evaluation, there is no way to be certain that the machine produces accurate results. Do you want to lose your freedom, money, and driving privileges due to a machine that may have errors?
In order to work properly, the machine must be calibrated and maintained according to the manufacturer guidelines. If the breathalyzer machine is not calibrated and maintained correctly, it could lead to inflated test results. Your DUI lawyer can ask for the breathalyzer machine’s logbooks to determine if it was in proper working order when your test was conducted.
Other factors could affect the results of your breathalyzer test. If your breath sample if above the recommended temperature, the results may be higher. Certain medical conditions, as well as gum and mints, could also produce an inaccurate result.
