Georgia DUI Portable Alcosensor/Breath Test

Today, field sobriety tests are not accepted by the general scientific community. Why? Because field sobriety tests do not measure the quantity of alcohol in one's blood. However, prosecutors are still introducing field sobriety test results into evidence in DUI trials. Police officers also routinely testify about field sobriety test administration.

While there are many physical dexterity tests utilized by police officers to test one's sobriety, they also use what is called the Portable Alcosensor Test.

This portable machine is used to measure the quantity of alcohol in a person's blood prior to arrest. To use the machine, the officer will ask you to blow through a tube, which will then produce a digital reading.

The Alcosensor has the "potential" for accuracy, but it is still deemed as being unreliable due to frequent misreading. For example, if you have a cold and are using cough syrup, this may cause the machine to detect alcohol. Due to this unreliability, the portable alcosensor is not accepted as "evidence" to prove that the person has a certain measurement of alcohol present in his or her body.

So why do police use this machine? The digital results of the "alcosensor" are only useful to the police to help them determine whether or not to arrest the person being investigated.

Remember, you have a right not to use the machine or take field sobriety tests, however this can be used against you and you can be arrested. Speak with a dedicated and experienced attorney and they can help you win your case even if the police have evidence against.
