The Intoxilyzer 5000 is the machine that all Georgia Police
Departments use in order to measure blood alcohol level after a DUI arrest. The
machine measures the molecules of alcohol in your breath to determine what
level of alcohol content you have in your bloodstream. If it measures .08 or
above, you will be charged Driving Under The Influence of Alcohol Per Se (DUI Per Se).
Is the Intoxilyzer 5000 infallible? No! There are many
reasons that a Breathalyzer machine such as the Intoxilyzer 5000 can give a false reading
including:
- Errors in the computer code
- Human operator errors
- Failure to maintain the equipment properly
- Medical conditions that may lead to a false positive.
There are many other examples, and an experienced
DUI attorney can review your case and determine whether your test was given
correctly and the levels read are proper.
