Reader’s Question:

I heard from someone here in Palm Beach, Florida that there are things that can lead into the inaccuracy of the Intoxilyzer 8000 that is used as a breath test machine in DUI cases. What are the reasons that can cause an inaccurate result of the Intoxilyzer 8000?

If the Intoxilyzer 8000 is used as a breath test in Palm Beach, Florida, it is said that the results of this test is inaccurate. There are several reasons why the Intoxilyzer 8000 could have inaccurate results when reporting a driver’s blood alcohol concentration. The common reason for the inaccuracy of the Intoxilyzer 8000 include: operation of the machine by unqualified person, operation by someone who is unlicensed, interference of radio frequency, contamination of mouth alcohol, malfunction of the machine and internal body temperature inaccuracy.

It would always be to the driver’s benefit to speak with a qualified DUI lawyer because the breath test results from the Intoxilyzer 8000 could be inaccurate. A DUI lawyer could review the test results, speak with the law enforcement, investigate the conditions of the breath test, and question the person who administered the breath test.
