Brighton OUI Attorney Provides Aggressive Representation
While alcohol level testing is believed to be the only way to accurately determine impairment, these tests are actually based upon several assumptions that are not scientifically accurate. If you've been arrested after taking a DUI test, then you need to contact Attorney Adam Russell.
He will begin an independent investigation and ensure that your rights were not infringed upon in any manner during your arrest or booking. Some common signs of an improperly administered breath test may include:

Do you have to take a breath test in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, drivers who won't submit to a chemical breath test will not be charged with a criminal offense, however, they may be subject to an automatic license suspension. It is important to note that admissible breath test must be done at a police station. Preliminary breath tests on the roadside are not recognized as reliable enough to be used as evidence.

How Police Test Your Intoxication Levels
If you are taken into police custody, you will most likely be asked to take a breath test. This will merely measure the lack of resistance to a laser beam that is sent through a chamber.
When you breath into the breath machine tube, that air is then sent into the machine. In the machine, that air is pushed into a chamber. Then a laser is pointed across the chamber. The presence of chemical compounds similar to drinking alcohol (ETOH), will increase the resistance of that laser passing through the chamber. So, the amount of that laser that makes it through the chamber is measured.
Nowhere in this machine is a measurement of your blood. When a person completes a chemical breath test, they breath into a tube. They do not provide a blood sample, therefore the breath machine does not scientifically measure a person's blood alcohol content.
