Our Chicago DUI Lawyers found yet another tale from the “war” on drunk driving.  This time it’s an 82 year old Alberta, BC native who had her car towed, was fined, and lost her license, not because she had been drinking, but because she couldn’t blow hard enough into a breathalyzer.  Bravo, Mounties. B.C. senior snared [...]

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers have long argued that Breathalyzers are faulty. See Faulty Breathalyzer Leads to Nearly 400 Improper Convictions, More Faulty Breathalyzers Used To Convict People Of DUI, DUI Breathalyzers Found To Be Faulty, and A Decade Worth Of Bogus Breathalyzers Tests Discovered. No surprise to us that, once again, hundreds of DUI Arrests [...]

Another reason why “NO” is the only answer to the question, “Should I blow in the breathalyzer”? Our Chicago DUI Lawyers found another story on how faulty breathalyzers are being used to convict innocent people. Santa Clara County DA reviewing 865 San Jose DUI cases after breathalyzers deemed faulty By Mike Rosenberg A faulty breathalyzer used [...]

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers found this odd story out of Kentucky.  A man was pulled over for driving erratically and when questioned by the police, the man admitted that the cause of his poor driving was the oral sex he was receiving while driving. Then, after taking a breathalyzer that proves the man is under [...]

From the WTF department. Our Canadian friends have some unique ideas about avoiding breathalyzers.  One Alberta man tried to eat his underwear to avoid a breathalyzer test, while an Ontario man ate his socks. Man eats underwear to beat breathalyzer The Advocate By D’Arcy Rickard An [...]

Often times our Chicago DUI Lawyers have argued that the use of breathalyzers is inherently unfair in convicting people for Drunk Driving.  Breathalyzer manufactures refuse to disclose their programing codes and Courts refuse to allow DUI Defense Attorneys to argue scientific facts about how the machines improperly determine one’s BAC.  Maybe this latest story out [...]

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers are constantly amazed at the non-sense created in the ever expanding “war” on one’s Constitutional Rights drunk driving.  This time it’s our friends the Russians who claim to have developed the world’s first DUI Radar.

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers have log held that the breathalyzer machines relied on so heavily by prosecutors to find people guilty of drunk driving are not as accurate as everyone would like you to believe.  Now, this latest story out of Washington, D.C. DC Reveals About 400 People Convicted Based on Faulty DWI Tests Nearly 400 people in [...]

Our Chicago DUI Attorneys have long argued that the results of breathalyzers are flawed.  Now, more proof that the machines should not be relied on to convict anyone.

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers have reported on the increase in Drunk Driving arrests for women. Now researchers at the University School of Medicine in Trieste, Italy suggest that women might be more likely to show a higher reading on a breathalyzer than men – even if both have the exact same BAC. Do DUI Laws [...]
