If I took the Intoxylizer test and blew over the limit (0.08 in Louisiana), should I even bother getting a lawyer?
Absolutely. There are many challenges that can be made to the Intoxylizer test. The officers who administer the tests have to follow strict rules or the test can be thrown out. The tester must be certified, the machine must be inspected and calibrated frequently, and the state must prove all of this at trial in order to use the test. Also, the penalties are enhanced if you blow over .15, and if you blow over .20 you could get jail time, even on a first offense.
