The Breathalyzer Machine and Possible Defenses Against Its Results

According to Washington state law, if you have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .08 or higher, you are considered legally drunk. Blood and breath tests — such as a Breathalyzer — determine the BAC level or detect drugs in a driver's blood stream. While these machines and their test results may indicate that you were driving under the influence, they are not always accurate.

Attorney Jensen has significant experience in challenging the results of Breathalyzer machines. Our team looks for possible mistakes in the testing procedure, officer training, machine maintenance and calibration. Maintenance reports are available online, and we know how to uncover other evidence of a false result.

If the machine was not maintained properly, or if the officer made a mistake, we may be able to suppress the Breathalyzer test results. Without this evidence, the police may have to drop the DUI charges against you.

Helping Reduce the Charges When Possible

In Washington, one form of negligent driving involves driving while exhibiting the effects of alcohol. If the Breathalyzer evidence supports it, we may be able to help you take advantage of this opportunity to reduce a DUI charge. Our experience and knowledge of the criminal justice system may be just the ticket to successfully challenge the evidence or reduce the effects of conviction.

Take the Breathalyzer Test

Many people believe that taking the Breathalyzer test is a sure way to get a DUI conviction. However, a breath test refusal is admissible in court, meaning that your refusal can be used to make a case against you. We highly recommend taking the Breathalyzer test if one is requested. We may be able to get that information suppressed if you have taken and even failed the test.
