Challenging Breath Tests after a DUI Arrest
Breath tests are among several tools used by the police to determine if drivers are under the influence of alcohol. An important part of fighting DUI (driving under the influence) charges in Los Angeles is breaking down all of the evidence against the defendant. Depending on the circumstances of the arrest, challenging the results of the breath test may be an important part of fighting the charges. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to challenge breath tests.
One of the most effective ways to fight the results of a breath test is to prove that the breath machine was not working properly. The most important question to ask is whether the machine was calibrated properly and when that was last done. A skilled DUI criminal defense attorney will review the device’s calibration records.
