DWI Breath Testing: How you breathe into the machine may affect the result. by Plano DWI lawyer Troy Burleson

If you gave a breath sample you may be familiar with the following scenario:
A police officer takes a person into the Intoxilyzer room to give a sample of his or her breath. The officer explains to the person that he or she must give two breath sample and must blow into a tube, connected to the Intoxilyzer hard enough to make the machine emit a steady, audible tone. The person then begins to blow into the machine and the officer starts cheering, like a high school pep squad,
“Keep breathing! Breathe harder! Harder! Keep going, that’s good you doing great!”
