Did You Take A Breathalyzer Test
When You Were Arrested For A Galveston, Texas DWI? |
 |
One of the most common tests you may be asked to take when pulled over for a Galveston, Texas DUI is a breathalyzer test. Although you might think that poor performance on your breathalyzer test is all the Prosecution needs to convict you of a Galveston, Texas DWI, that is simply not true.
When the Prosecution uses a Breathalyzer to support a Galveston DWI, the results can be subject to a number of potential errors.
Most notably, test results can be skewed high because of what is referred to as “mouth alcohol.” Mouth alcohol can be caused by many factors, including….
- Belching or burping before taking the test
- Vomiting before taking the test
- Hiccupping before taking the test
- Having blood in your mouth
If any of these events occurred within 20 minutes of the test, your Breathalyzer results may indicate you are guilty of a Galveston, Texas DUI -- when you really are not. If the arresting officer did not observe you for 20 minutes to ensure none of these things occurred, your Breathalyzer results can be invalidated.
