Breathalyzer.org : Breathalizer Facts And Breath Alcohol Tester Information Police found 17-year-old Gianna Vigliotta to be drunk and after administering a breathalyzer it was determined her blood-alcohol was nearly twice the legal limit yet the teen insisted she had not had a drink all night. The Breathalyzer is a pretty common way police can find out if a motorist has had too much to drink, but a Tucson City Court judge has tossed out alcohol breath tests in 49 of his cases, and there could be more. Breathalyzer tests are common sights at DUI checkpoints, but attorneys who deal with DUI cases still aren’t convinced the breathalyzer used by TPD does what it’s supposed to. www.breathalyzer.org   (2654 words)

Breathalyzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A breathalyzer (or breathalyser) is a device for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) from a breath sample. "Breathalyzer" is the brand name of a model made by one manufacturer of these instruments (originally Smith and Wesson, later National Draeger), but has become a genericized trademark for all such instruments. Like other methods, the "Breathalyzer" chemical analysis is somewhat prone to false readings; compounds which have compositions similar to ethanol could also act as reducing agents, creating the necessary colour change to indicate increased BAC. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Breathalyzer   (1544 words)

Breathalyzer- Massachusetts Drunk Driving Lawyers   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The suspect breathes through a tube into the breathalyzer machine which uses an infrared light to measure the presence of alcohol in the lung air. The basic premise of the breathalyzer is that a person has 2,100 times as much alcohol in their blood as in their breath- a premise experts contend is debatable. The breathalyzer is also notoriously difficult to administer accurately due to poor maintenance. www.ouilawyers.com /pages/breathalyzer.html   (445 words)

Breathalyzer Breathalyzers analyze the alcohol content of exhaled air. Consumer grade breathalyzers start at well under $100. While they might not be as accurate as the professional models used by law enforcement officers (which can run over $500), the inexpensive breathalyzers offer a clue to those who might otherwise be clueless. www.geekbooks.com /breathalyzer_2002.htm   (379 words)

NewsForge | Breathalyzer company refuses to turn over source code The maker of the Intoxilyzer 5000 breathalyzer, CMI Inc., has informed prosecutors involved in several DUI cases in Sarasota County, Florida, that it will not assist prosecutors in complying with a judicial order to allow an expert hired by defense attorneys to review the source code for software used in the device. Although the e-voting issue, and potentially the breathalyzer issue, have the potential to become political issues because of the implication that government is trying to cover something up or at least not pursue answers vigorously enough, each is a matter of protecting citizens rights -- which in itself can be a political issue. I'm no expert on Breathalyzer's, but I'd assume it probably operates on some basic microchip like a PIC controller, which is the source code in question. trends.newsforge.com /trends/05/11/04/2053208.shtml?tid=147   (1427 words)

Breathalyzer Breath Intoxilyzer Alcohol Tests Info from "Americas Top DUI DWI Attorneys" In recent years law enforcement authorities have come to rely more and more on breathalyzer tests in their efforts to establish guilt in a drunk driving offense. The object of a breathalyzer test is to determine the blood-alcohol content of a suspect. With the exception of the Breathalyzer, however, all use a common method: infrared spectroscopic analysis. 1-800-dial-dui.com /CM/Custom/TOCBreathalyzerTests.asp   (440 words)

Breathalyzer Methods and Facts Smokers must wait a minimum 8-10 minutes after smoking to use a breathalyzer to insure that all residual smoke is absent from the lungs. This fact results in a common misconception and false assumption by users of these devices that they can "test the tester" by repeatedly blowing into the unit to see if test results are the same each time, or more erroneously assuming what the test results should be for any given test event. Obviously, accuracy expectations must also be related to the purchase cost of a particular model breathalyzer. www.craigmedical.com /Breathalyzer_FAQ.htm   (1339 words)

WTAP | Prom Breathalyzer: Did it Work?   (Site not responding. Last check: ) According to school administrators, no breathalyzer tests were given because they say none of the kids seemed intoxicated. Officials at PHS say they didn't have any problems with drinking at this year’s prom, mainly due to the threat of the breathalyzer test, but as we spoke with students, the cold truth eventually came out. But despite that, Principal Hattman says he's intrigued with the PHS breathalyzer approach, something that could end up down the road greeting Belpre students at the door of "their" prom. www.wtap.com /schools/headlines/1561237.html   (351 words)

Breathalyzer Summary - Breathalyzer Information The Breathalyzer result allows the tester to estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood. Because Breathalyzer test results serve as powerful evidence, defendants and their lawyers often obtain experts who question the way the test was administered and the reliability of the Breathalyzer machine itself. If the Breathalyzer machine has not received proper and timely maintenance, this information can be used to cause a jury to have a reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the results. www.bookrags.com /other/drugs/breathalyzer-dat-01.html   (642 words)

Goodbye Breathalyzer - Government Technology   (Site not responding. Last check: ) For decades, the Breathalyzer served New Jersey well, but law enforcement officials in the state want to retire it and replace it with a new evidential breath test that relies on advanced technology. The Breathalyzer proved an accurate tool to measure blood alcohol concentration (BAC), but is no longer being manufactured, and as parts of the equipment wear out, they are becoming increasingly difficult to replace. The road to replace the Breathalyzer with the Alcotest statewide will travel through the rest of the 10 counties and their courthouses, where judges will decide whether to agree with the ruling in Camden or ask for more hearings. www.govtech.net /magazine/channel_story.php/97729   (1518 words)

These sources of error make breathalyzer test results suspect and, to insure reliability, require the substantial reduction of blood-alcohol percentages based on a translation of those results.

American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU of Michigan Challenges Breathalyzer Tests for Young Pedestrians Michigan is the only state in the country to make it illegal for young adults and minors who are not driving to refuse a Breathalyzer test when the police do not have a search warrant. University police officers recently raided an apartment in the building where she lives and forced all of those under the age of 21 to submit to Breathalyzer tests without a warrant, even though they were not driving or under arrest. The ruling does not apply to drivers of a motor vehicle and the ACLU did not challenge the ability of officers to give breath tests to suspected drunk drivers without a warrant because driving is a privilege, not a right. www.aclu.org /Privacy/Privacy.cfm?ID=18891&c=39   (972 words)

thedailytimes.com - Blount no longer uses breathalyzer due to problems   (Site not responding. Last check: ) According to Long, the breathalyzer worked in the following way: Alcohol is absorbed into the blood system, and as the blood goes through the lungs, a physiologically predictable amount of the alcohol moves across the lung membranes and into the lungs themselves. When the MPD first started using the breathalyzer test, they did both the blood test and the breathalyzer test to show the integrity of the breathalyzer. Even though a breathalyzer isn't used any more, he said area law enforcement is still committed to stopping impaired drivers. www.thedailytimes.com /sited/story/html/149218   (692 words)

Barrington schools consider breathalyzer policy If a teenager was suspected of being under the influence at the dance, he or she was asked to use the breathalyzer.

The breathalyzers used at the Feb. 11 dance were on loan to the police department from the Rhode Island Department of Health, but Chief LaCross is considering purchasing breathalyzer units sometime later this year. www.eastbayri.com /story/309271356641038.php   (1513 words)
