CHARGED WITH DUI IN SEMINOLE COUNTY?
BREATH TESTS IN
SEMINOLE COUNTY
Breath tests are commonly used to
determine if your Blood Alcohol
Concentration (BAC) is over the legal
limit of 0.08% if you are stopped for
suspicion of DUI. You may choose to
refuse a breath test although there are
automatic associated penalties for doing
so.
If you have been charged with DUI and
have taken a breath test that indicated
a BAC in excess of 0.08%, a Seminole
County DUI attorney may still be able to
present legal challenges that may result
in having the results thrown out as
evidence.
Your particular circumstances may allow
a Seminole County DUI lawyer to
challenge the results of your breath
test on one or more of the following:
- Was the breath testing device an
authorized model and had it been
properly maintained and calibrated?
- Was the test administered by a
properly trained law enforcement officer
- Was the test properly administered
- Did anything else occur during the 15
minutes prior to testing that could have
affected the breath test results?
Eating, drinking, smoking, belching,
vomiting, etc. can all affect the
results of a breath test.
- Was there any physical condition that
may have produced a false result on the
breath test?
One or more of these defenses may apply
to your situation if you have been
charged with DUI. Successful application
of these defenses may result in the
breath test being thrown out and will
improve your chances of avoiding a DUI
conviction.
