Breath test devices must be properly calibrated and maintained. Equipment used by Boston-area law enforcement must meet Massachusetts standards for admissibility.
Blood Test Chain of Custody
Blood samples must be properly drawn, stored, and transported. Any break in the chain of custody can make results inadmissible.
Rising Blood Alcohol Defense
Your BAC may have been below 0.08% while driving but rose above the limit by the time you were tested. This is especially relevant when there is a long delay between the stop and chemical testing.
Field Sobriety Test Errors
Officers must follow NHTSA standardized procedures for administering FSTs. Deviations can undermine the prosecution's case.
