A San Diego firm of DUI defense attorneys at http://www.san-diego-dui.com/ reports that breathalyzers used by law enforcement do not actually measure alcohol -- and thus may produce falsely high "blood alcohol" readings. According to the the Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor, Inc., in San Diego, California, most breathalyzers used in DUI cases by law enforcement today use "infrared spectroscopy". This technology involves detection of the "methyl group" in the molecular structure of alcohol. The problem is that there are thousands of chemical compounds containing the methyl group -- some of them found on the human breath. In one study involving 28 subjects, for example, researchers found that the "combined expired air comprises at least 102 various organic compounds of endogenous and exogenous origin" ("Characterization of Human Expired Air", 15 Journal of Chromatographic Sciences 240). If a person has any of these other compounds on his breath, called "interferents" by the engineers, he will get a falsely high blood-alcohol test result. And if there are two or more such compounds on his breath, the machine will add them up and falsely report the total as the blood-alcohol level. So what compounds can be found on your breath? According to the San Diego DUI attorneys, diabetics with low blood sugar can have high levels of acetone -- which is "seen" as alcohol by Breathalyzers. And scientific studies have found that people on diets can have reduced blood-sugar levels, causing acetone hundreds of times higher than found in normal individuals (Frank and Flores, "The Likelihood of Acetone Interference in Breath Alcohol Measurements", 3 Alcohol, Drugs and Driving 1). And there are many other so-called "interferents" affecting breathalyzer results If you are a smoker, your breathalyzer result is likely to be higher than expected. The compound acetaldehyde -- containing the methyl group and so reported by the Breathalyzer as "alcohol" -- is produced in the human body as a by-product in metabolizing consumed alcohol, and eventually passes into the lungs and breath. Researchers have discovered that levels of acetaldehyde in the lungs can be 30 times higher in smokers than in non-smokers. Result: higher BAC readings on the machine. The San Diego DUI lawyers report that common household products, such as paint, glue, gasoline, and thinners also contain the methyl group. No, you don't have to drink the stuff: simply absorbing it through your skin or inhaling the fumes can result in significant levels of the chemical in your body for hours or even days, depending upon the "half-life" of the compound. So if you've painted a room or breathed in fumes at a gas station in the last day or two, don't take a breathalyzer test. If you are stopped by the police and suspected of drunk driving, say the San Diego DUI lawyers, you might consider a blood test rather than submitting to a breathalyzer.

Depending on the state practice, DWI can be interpreted as an acronym for Driving While Intoxicated or Driving While Impaired . Similar to other drunk driving offenses, a person is guilty of DWI when he or she drives or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and is under the influence of alcoholic beverages, any chemical or controlled substance to the extent that his or her mental faculties are impaired or when his or her blood alcohol level (BAC) is above the legal limit for the state. DWI and other offenses that involve the operation of a vehicle while intoxicated are criminal law matters, which could potentially incur a felony conviction and possibly a prison sentence, depending on how serious the charges are. Whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense, you should contact a drunk driving defense lawyer immediately if you are arrested. New "Per Se" Offense Has Been Enacted In recent years, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have enacted a second, "per se", offense: driving with an excessive blood-alcohol concentration (typically .08%). BOTH offenses are charged, and the defendant can even be convicted of both. DMV Administrative Actions In addition to the criminal DWI charges brought, your state's department of motor vehicles can also take a variety of administrative actions against you whether or not you are actually convicted. Please refer to "Drunk Driving Defense" for more information about this and other criminal charges that may be brought. DWI Checkpoints What are DWI checkpoints, and are they legal? DWI checkpoints are roadblocks set up by law enforcement agencies on selected roads and highways to stop and detain individuals suspected of driving while intoxicated . Much like a roadblock that is established for border crossings or agricultural checks, officers use a neutral policy in which to stop vehicles and check the sobriety of the driver. If the driver appears intoxicated (with slurred speech, glassy eyes, etc.) officers will ask the driver to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety tests. If the driver is deemed intoxicated, appropriate detention will follow. Although there has been much debate over whether such roadblocks constitute illegal search and seizure, in 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that if DWI checkpoints comply with federal requirements, they do not violate any constitutional amendments and are considered legal. In fact, many states have established their own guidelines to comply with federal rules including providing public notice on the location of checkpoints with reasons why particular locations are selected. Also, the Supreme Court found that the need to reduce alcohol-related accidents more than justified the minimal intrusion accompanying DWI checkpoint procedures, thus allowing sobriety roadblocks to remain in effect. What kind of field sobriety tests will should a driver expect? Can tests be refused? When cops suspect an individual of driving while intoxicated , he or she will administer a range of field sobriety tests varying from a battery of three to five tests. These tests may include heel-to-toe (also referred to as "walk-and-turn"), finger-to-nose, one-leg stand, hand pat, finger-to-thumb, alphabet recitation and horizontal gaze, requiring the driver to visually trace a flashlight or pen to study eye response. The officer may also inquire about the amount of alcohol consumed, any drugs ingested or past DWI offenses, all of which the driver is not required to answer. Although it is likely that an officer has determined the sobriety of a driver, and the need for subsequent chemical tests before even administering field tests, drivers have the right to refuse field tests. Can drivers refuse chemical tests? The three standard chemical tests for DWI incrimination are breath, blood or urine (urinalysis), and in most states, the driver can choose the test. Many jurisdictions test blood or urine after a breath test because a breath sample cannot be saved and later reanalyzed by DWI attorneys in a court of law. Although chemical tests can be refused, the refusal does not come without serious consequences. All states honor an "implied consent" law, which considers individuals who hold an active driver’s license as automatically agreeing to submit to blood, breath or urine tests to determine sobriety. Refusal to take these tests can result in the suspension of a driver’s license for 3-12 months, and may prove detrimental to the driver. If a DWI case goes to trial, prosecutors can iterate that chemical tests were refused, prompting suspicion of intoxication or "consciousness of guilt." And in some states, refusal is a separate crime that adds jail time to the sentence for the DWI offense. Also, a driver does not possess the right to change their mind once refusing chemical tests; license suspension and all applicable penalties still apply. Chemical testing that does not grant any right of refusal pertains to drivers who have been arrested and taken into custody for elevated offenses, such as vehicular manslaughter, wherein blood is automatically drawn from the driver to ascertain any level of intoxication and impending responsibility. If I am tested for a DWI, can an officer test for illegal drugs? Yes. If an officer suspects that drug ingestion is all or part of the impairing substance in your system, most states permit the officer to demand a blood sample, a urine sample, or both blood and urine. When a crime lab checks for other drugs than alcohol, a device known as a GC-MS (gas chromatography) is used. This piece of equipment can isolate and identify a wide range of drugs, including prescription drugs and illegal drugs. Common drugs the test will detect are opiates, marijuana, sedatives and pain killers. If any class of drugs shows a positive reading in the blood, the GC-MS will chart this, and laboratory chemists can note the level of such chemicals to determine their role in the driver’s intoxication. Although you can be prosecuted for a DWI involving physician prescribed drugs, the prosecutor is required to prove impairment in order to render a conviction, not merely establish their presence in your system. What are the benefits of hiring a DWI attorney? What qualifications are important? A qualified DWI attorney can review a DWI case for defects, compel discovery of such things as calibration and maintenance records for breath machines, have blood samples independently analyzed, negotiate for a lesser charge or reduced sentence and obtain expert witnesses for trial. A skilled lawyer can also debate if the blood technician received adequate training, or if laboratory staff handled urine samples properly. Since the prosecution relies heavily on the results of breath, blood, and urine chemical tests, any discrepancy in the execution and examination of such tests can prove crucial to their validity. When looking for a DWI attorney , many experts advise that potential clients find a DWI attorney with an outstanding reputation.The LawInfo's Lead Counsel Program certifies all DWI attorneys to ensure their qualifications and expertise in the drunken driving arena.

Reports that say Rhode Island has one of the worst DWI death rates in the U.S. cite fatalities as a percentage of total vehicle deaths, but the ACLU says that data is misleading. The group said that a better measure would calculate fatalities per total vehicle miles driven; under this calculation, Rhode Island would have a below-average rate of alcohol fatalities for all but one year from 1982 to 2002. "There is one thing that's clear about Rhode Island's drunk driving 'problem:' it has, however unintentionally, been greatly exaggerated," according to the ACLU. The group's Rhode Island director, Steven Brown, said the point was not to minimize the threat of drunk driving but to ensure that new laws are truly needed. ACLU and the Drug and Alcohol Treatment Association of Rhode Island also have called for more treatment for drunk drivers and better enforcement of existing laws. The Coalition to End Needless Death On Our Roadways, a national group that ranked Rhode Island atop its "Fatal Fifteen" list, criticized the ACLU for criticizing its report. "You can debate the numbers all day long, but frankly, we're disappointed that the ACLU is choosing to play politics with the lives of Rhode Island's families," said John Pastuovic, the group's executive director. Mothers Against Drunk Driving, which used the same data to conclude that Rhode Island deserved an "F" grade for its drunk-driving efforts, also defended its methods. "Nobody's concerned about the people that are no longer with us," said MADD Rhode Island director Gabrielle Abbate. "Who protected their civil liberties?" More News Summaries • R.I.
