Error in the manipulation of the breathalyzer

Simon is a health professional and a professional corporation member. He cannot afford a criminal record. While he was coming back from an event, he was intercepted for speeding. The police officers noticed an alcoholic breath from Simon, and ordered him to blow in the screening device. Simon failed this first breathalyser test, was arrested and was brought to the police station. The breathalyzer results revealed rates of 170 and 180 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood which is more than the double of the legal limit of 80 mg allowed in Quebec.

Best Breathalyser Test Defense

After a detailed analysis of the evidence, the lawyer, Benoît Gariépy, noticed that the qualified technician didn’t follow the right steps while performing the breathalyzer tests. Within the 20 steps to follow for each breath sample, the qualified technician omitted two of those and omitted to write down the information on the record, which was fatal in this case. In fact, at Simon’s trial, the lawyer talked with the prosecution about those mistakes which the qualified technician could no longer correct. Simon was therefore acquitted from all the DUI charges.
