You’ve failed a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test and you’ve been arrested for a DUI in Georgia. Maybe you’re feeling a little hopeless, as if there’s nothing you can do. You’re thinking this is going to be on your record forever; you’ll lose your job, license, friends, etc.
But you’re wrong! There is always something you can do. The right attorney may be able to get your BAC evidence ruled as inadmissible.
Did you know that blood alcohol tests, especially Breathalyzers, are not always accurate? Breathalyzer tests are machines, and machines malfunction. If your breathalyzer malfunctioned, that could lead to questionable results. If the results of your test are in question and unreliable, then an experienced Fulton County DUI defense attorney may be able to get your test ruled inadmissible.
If the staff and personnel who administered your test were not qualified to do so, the test could also be ruled as inadmissible. If the person who performed your test was not certified to do so then the test would not be legal evidence in your case. Also, if the test administrator was for any reason compromised from lack of sleep, intoxicated, preoccupied, or any similar reason then the validity of the could come into question. This could also lead to your test becoming inadmissible in court.
If the chain of custody has gaps or inconsistencies, then it would not be allowed in court. Evidence is to be handled in a specified way to ensure its validity. If someone were to tamper with evidence, it could become inadmissible.
The equipment that is used for a DUI test (blood, urine, or breath) must be maintained properly. A defective product that was not handled correctly or used properly during an administered DUI test could also be ruled as inadmissible.
