How the Prosecution Prove the BAC Level? »
By the drunk driving laws to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or while having a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher has been made a criminal offense. However, to be under the influence or to have a BAC of .08% while taking a breath test in a police station an hour or two AFTER driving is not a criminal offense. So how it is proved by the prosecution that what was the BAC when the defendant was driving? Now that’s a problem.
In a DUI case by projecting backwards, using average alcohol absorption and elimination rates you can try to guess what the BAC was, but that is only a very inaccurate guess. This process of guessing is called “retrograde extrapolation” which is a fancy name for trying to guess backwards. Now here the problem is that everyone has a different metabolism, and even in a given person alcohol will metabolize at different rates that depends on many variables.

Due Process and Automatic DUI License Suspensions »
So last night you were stopped by the cops and then they arrested you for drunk driving. And just after the Breathalyzer showed that the reading of a blood-alcohol level was .12%, the officer take away your driver’s license and gave you a piece of paper on which it was mentioned that your license was immediately suspended.
Here several questions comes in your mind that you might be wanted to ask, you may ask that what happened?. Are they allowed to do that? I thought I was believed to be innocent, and it is necessary for the state to prove my guilt that should be beyond a reasonable doubt before that they can punish me. And I remember something about "due process": Are they able to suspend my license for DUI before giving me a chance to defend myself?
