Why the Breathalyzers don’t Work Properly »
Here I am giving just one of many examples explaining why the breathalyzers do not work properly. The computers that are inside Breathalyzers what actually do is that they just multiply the amount of alcohol in a DUI suspect’s breath sample 2100 times in order to get the blood alcohol concentration ("BAC").
It happens because they are programmed in such a way that they assume that the suspect has 2100 units of alcohol in his blood for every single unit of alcohol in his breath. This is what we call the "partition ratio". But this ratio is only an average: actual ratios shows variation from as low as 900:1 to as high as 3500:1; if individual ratio is different, then surely the BAC result will be different.

FAQs about San Diego Drunk Driving »
When San Diego police arrested me for DUI, they took over my driving license. How can I have it back?
In normal cases, an expert San Diego DUI attorney can help you in showing to DMV Officials there was no solid ground for your license suspension or annulment, and it can be returned to you. If you don’t call for an “admin per se” hearing with the DMV within 10 days after your drunk driving arrest, the DMV will give back your driving license at the ending of the suspension term ( i.e. four months if this is your first case), provided you give a 125-USD which is a re-issuance fee and show insurance documents. The reissue fee is 100-USD if you were under 21 when you got arrested for DUI according too San Diego’s Zero Tolerance Law for driving under the influence.
What is the difference between the DMV driving license suspension or cancellation for DUI arrest and the driving license suspension or cancellation brought down by the judge of criminal court during hearing?
The DMV driving license suspension or cancellation received at a DUI arrest is an administrative and civil thing whereas the suspension or cancellation as a result of a conviction in criminal court becomes a criminal penalty.
