Collin County DWI Breath Testing: Why the Intoxilyzer 5000 doesn’t work by Plano DWI lawyer Troy Burleson
by Collin, Dallas and Denton County DWI Attorney Troy Burleson
One of the most argued points of law concerning the Intoxilyzer 5000 is the amount of assumptions that the machines internal “source code” makes when calculating a persons BAC (breath alcohol concentration). Until recently, the manufacture (CMI) has refused to turn over there source code to defense attorneys so that we can test the code for internal flaws. However, courts have begun to force CMI to turn over its source code and if CMI refused, courts have refused to allow the State to use the breath test result in trial.
