Breathalyzer Tests

Breathalyzer Tests | Melbourne DUI Lawyer

A central issue in many Brevard County DUI charges is the administration of the Breathalyzer test. If you have been subjected to a breath-alcohol or “breathalyzer” test, don’t assume that you can’t fight the results. You still may have legal defenses! Contrary to common belief, breath tests can be disputed if the facts of your case are carefully examined and faults are found with the breathalyzer.

Some of the Issues that our attorneys can explore for you are the following:

• Was the initial stop by the officer lawful?
• Did the officer make a lawful arrest?
• Were you observed by an officer for a period of 20 minutes before taking the breath test?
• Did the person regurgitate, burp, or have any, other item in their mouth just prior to or during the administration of the test?
• Was the breathalyzer machine in question properly calibrated?
• Has the breathalyzer machine in question been taken out of service recently?
• Were you absorbing alcohol or eliminating alcohol at the time of the stop?
• Did you finish drinking just before you were pulled over?
• Did the breathalyzer machine in question undergo its routine monthly maintenance by the police department, and, if so, were the results valid?
• Did the breathalyzer machine in question undergo its Annual inspection by FDLE and if so, were the results valid?

Depending on the answers to the above questions, you may be able to fight the results of a breathalyzer test. Breathalyzer test results may also be excluded from evidence if there was any wrongful action taken by the officer. At The Canina Law Firm, we routinely challenge and scrutinize breath test results.
