If you were tested on an Intoxilyzer 5000 breath test machine, the source-code (software inside the machine) may have been rigged against you.  One of the most dramatic happenings in the science of a DUI has been the developments of the source-code battle taking place in Minnesota.  Ohio has recently rejected the Ohio-made BAC DataMaster in favor of the Intoxilyzer breath test machine (often referred to as the Intoxi-LIAR) so we can soon expect similar science-based battles in the Buckey State.Chuck Ramsay, a DWI attorney in Minnesota has been litigating the reliability of the Intoxilyzer 5000 for several years.  Recently...

Posted by Dayton DUI
in DUI Law, DUI Process

Substantial Compliance Requires Collection Within Three Hours. R.C. 4511.19(D) sets forth a three-hour time limitation for the collection of bodily substances for alcohol and/or drug testing.  This rule is a change from Ohio's previous law which gave the State only two hours in which to obtain a sample.The time requirement has been adopted by the Ohio Supreme Court in Cincinnati v.

Lucas, 40 Ohio St.3d 100, 532 N.E.2d 130 (1988),  where the court held that tests in test cases (cases involving a violation of the prohibited...

Posted by Dayton DUI
in Uncategorized

For years the critics of MADD have been labled all manner of evil by the group for merely suggesting that they are just a money-making enterprise.  Well now, MADD is using its member's pain to sell alcohol-free drinks. (See story below)  It is now obvious that MADD is trying to profit off the pain and tragedy of a declining social ill by switching it message to an anti-alcohol campaign rather than a common-sense approach to drunk driving.  Like their neo-prohibition ancestors they want to steer you away from alcohol to their "alternative."  This...
