Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney

Breathalyzer Calibration

A common DUI defense is the breathalyzer evidence; whether or not the testing device was working properly at the time of the test. Breathalyzers require regular calibration and maintenance to make sure that they deliver accurate results.

An improperly calibrated or inadequately maintained machine will produce unreliable results. As your defense attorney, if we can show that the police department did not properly maintain and calibrate the breathalyzer device then the results are likely inaccurate and we will motion the court to make the breathalyzer test inadmissible as evidence against you.

According to California law, the testing devices must be calibrated every 10 days or 150 people tested. If the devices are not calibrated at all or improperly calibrated, the end result is false DUI arrests. It is our duty as your DUI defense attorney to investigated and point out any inaccuracies or ambiguities as to your blood alcohol level at the time of arrests.

If you are facing a driving under the influence charge, contact our Los Angeles DUI Defense Lawyers, set up a free face to face consultation and we will investigate the police report and the devices used that led to your DUI arrest. We will look for any ambiguities or inaccuracies in the blood alcohol level and do our research to see whether the device used has been timely and properly calibrated.

Most police officers are not properly trained, certified, or educated about the device used to take a breath test which can consequently result in mistakes which results in false DUI arrests.
