Should I Submit to an Intoxilyzer Machine For the Breath Test?
No. You should not take the test unless you have not had anything to drink. The machine has been proven to be faulty and has an acceptable rate of error. If the machine is not calibrated correctly, it may measure the alcohol in your breath incorrectly. If so, you may be providing the police with evidence they can use to convict you. If you tell them that you will not take the test without a lawyer present, they will treat your comment as a refusal and so will the Court. However, this is easier to deal with at the time of trial than a breath test result that is over the legal limit.
