Problems With The Intoxilyzer 8000: You Blew Too Much!

The Intoxilyzer 8000 measures how much breath you provide by something called a 'pressure transducer.' Instead of directly measuring the volume of your breath by a pressure switch, like the old Intoxilyzer 5000 did, the 8000 indirectly measures breath. Did you blow during an arrest? Watch this video. Not only is it needlessly complicated, it simply doesn't work! The flow sensor systems in Florida's Intoxilyzer 8000's are so unreliable that FDLE ordered that police STOP KEEPING RECORDS of the system in monthly checks. In 2011, a system-wide check showed that 40% of the machines in Florida couldn't accurately measure breath volume!...

Posted by Dayton DUI

in DUI Process

Did you know that the DUI laws are inherently biased against most of us?Alcohol loves water and will move into spaces where water is the most prevalent. Fatty portions of the body have a low water content and absorb little of the alcohol, while muscular portions of the body have a high water content and absorb much alcohol. As it is carried to all parts of the body by the blood, the alcohol distributes itself in proportion to the water content of the various parts of the body. It is the presumed relationship between the amount of alcohol in the...
