What is the Intozilyzer 5000 machine that was used in my breath test?
The Intoxilyzer 5000 is the machine that is used by law enforcement departments throughout Colorado. It is important that your DUI attorney be knowledgeable in how this breath machine works, what can effect the machine’s readings, and the Colorado Department of Health regulations related to the machine and the operators of the machine. To the average criminal defense attorney, a breath test above the legal limit means “plead guilty” from the beginning, even though they will not tell you this until after the fee has been paid. To a true DUI defense attorney, a failed breath test in no way means you are guilty. We understand how the Intoxolizer 5000 works, what can cause you to submit an erroneously high reading, the philosophy behind breath testing, and how alcohol is absorbed and eliminated from the body. This knowledge is often the difference between a Guilty and Not Guilty verdict.
