DUI Motions and DUI Trials - challenges to breath tests

Nearly everyday people call my Atlanta DUI law office and are baffled that they were arrested for DUI. They feel that they performed well on the field sobriety tests. They may have only had a beer or two to drink earlier on the evening. They agree to take the breath test that the DUI officer tells them they must take or risk losing their license for a year. The legal limit for driving for a driver over age 21 in Atlanta is .08. Many Atlanta drivers are then surprised when they take the test and are told that they are over the limit? Are these DUI breath tests accurate? The answer is short is NO! Georgia uses the Intoxilyzer 5000 for its state administered DUI breath test. These machines are old technology ----- from the 1970s. Would you use a computer from the 1970s? Atlanta DUI prosecuting attorneys rely on this old and outdated technology to convict Georgia drivers of DUI. This is troubling and unfair. What is even more scary for those charged with a DUI in Atlanta is that the State of Georgia and its DUI prosecutors / solicitors and Judges are hesitant and often hostile if you request to examine the programming or source code behind these breath tests.
