Why Hire a Tampa DUI Attorney for a Breath Test Defense?

Florida's DUI laws are strict, and a failed breath test can lead to immediate consequences like license suspension, fines, and even jail time. However, breathalyzer tests are not always reliable. Several factors—such as faulty equipment, improper administration, or medical conditions—can impact the accuracy of the results. At Rodriguez & Williamson, PLLC, we have experience challenging the validity of breath test evidence and ensuring that your rights are protected.

Common Issues with Breath Test Results

Breathalyzer tests are often seen as definitive, but they can be flawed. Some common issues that may affect the accuracy of your breath test results include:

Improper Calibration – The breathalyzer device must be regularly calibrated and maintained. If this isn't done properly, the results could be inaccurate.
Incorrect Administration – Police officers must follow strict procedures when administering a breath test. Any deviation could result in unreliable readings.
Medical Conditions – Certain medical conditions, like acid reflux or diabetes, can produce false positives in breathalyzer tests.
Mouth Alcohol – Residual alcohol in the mouth, from mouthwash or recent consumption, can lead to an inflated reading.

Can You Refuse a Breath Test in Florida?

In Florida, refusing a breath test comes with its own set of penalties under the state's "implied consent" law. These penalties include automatic suspension of your driver's license and potential additional charges. However, refusal does not mean you're automatically guilty of DUI. A skilled attorney can help you challenge the refusal and navigate the legal process.
