Blood & Breath Tests

Have you failed a blood or breath test?

If you have been charged with a DUI in Los Angeles, it is probably because you failed a blood or a breath test administered by a police officer. Blood and breath tests are the most commonly used means of determining a person's blood alcohol concentration in the state of California. State laws forbid a person to drive if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or above. If you have been subjected to a blood or breath test and have failed, you may greatly benefit from the help of a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney.

DUI Screening Test Errors

If you have been charged with a DUI, the prosecution must be able to prove that your BAC at the time of the offense was above 0.08%. Scientific research shows that the use of breath tests to determine BAC may not be the best method because results can differ in a given individual from time to time. Factors such as external temperature, atmospheric pressure, cellular composition of blood and physical activity can all interfere with a breath test.

In addition to errors on the screening device, the person administering the test may also contribute to a wrong test result. If the officer reads the result incorrectly or if the machine is not properly calibrated, you may be falsely accused with driving under the influence.
