As a Chicago DUI attorney, I want to remind you to think hard before deciding to submit to any tests offered by the police. In the past, I've posted here and here about false Breath Alcohol Testing results.
I spent today with a Breath Testing Machine, the EC/IR II to be specific. I touched it. I poked it. I prodded it. I opened it. I removed essential parts from it. I screwed parts in to it. I unlocked it. I locked it. I ripped tickets from its innocuous mouth. I learned from it.
I tested folks on it. I watched folks with no alcohol in their systems swish & swallow one shot of vodka poured from a cool looking glass skull of a vessel (it definitely smacks of Macbeth). I watched them immediately blow into the machine and register .386, .112, or .156 BAC. They weren’t drunk. It was mouth alcohol. About fifteen minutes later they blew again and then the machine was accurate. They registered about .002 BAC.
Do you think the police will give you a second chance to take the breath test if they arrest you for a DUI?
