Edmonds DUI Attorney: New BAC machine approved in Washington State DUI cases

Edmonds DUI Attorney: New BAC machine approved in Washington State DUI cases

For decades the State of Washington approved only two BAC machines for DUI cases, the DataMaster and DataMaster CDM. These relics of the past have had numerous problems and are using technology that predates the modern Personal Computer by decades. But now, we have a change! The State has found some money, despite the billion dollar deficit, to fund the purchase of a new, nearly modern BAC machine. Ladies and Gentlemen I am pleased to announce that the Drager Alcotest 9510 machine has been approved for use in the State of Washington to prove DUIs. Shall be interesting to see how many errors this machine makes – oh, and the operators too. Stay tuned.

WAC 448-16-020 Approval of breath test equipment. (1) Pursuant to RCW 46.61.506, the following instruments are approved for the quantitative measurement of alcohol in a person's breath:

(a) The DataMaster((.));

(b) The DataMaster CDM; and

(2) Pursuant to RCW 46.61.506, the following thermometers are approved:

(a) Mercury in glass thermometers with a scale graduated in tenths of a degree measuring a range between 33.5 and 34.5 degrees centigrade.

(b) Digital thermometer system contained within the Guth 2100 wet bath simulator.

Lynnwood DUI Attorney: Lynnwood Police focusing on DUIs

New Year's Eve is nearly here. Good-bye 2010, hello 2011. This is a time to celebrate with family and friends. Perhaps even have a drink or two. However, be warned as a "drink or two" might result in a day or two in jail in Lynnwood. Lynnwood DUI officers are out this weekend to stop and arrest anyone suspected of drunk driving. Do not take the risk of getting a DUI in Lynnwood this weekend. However, if you are stopped in Lynnwood for suspicion of DUI and then arrested for DUI in Lynnwood please call me for a free consultation. As a former Lynnwood DUI prosecuting attorney I am well qualified to advise you on the good, the bad, and the ugly of DUI defense in the City of Lynnwood. Good luck.

Lynnwood DUI Attorney: Lynnwood DUI arrests and your first court appearance

If you are arrested for a DUI in the City of Lynnwood this weekend you should be prepared to appear in court immediately. For DUI cases in the City of Lynnwood you must appear at the next available court date. In the case of a New Year's weekend DUI in Lynnwood, your next court date would be January 3^rd. So be prepared and moreover, be prepared to contact a DUI attorney to be with you. Give one of our attorneys a call for a free consultation. As a former City of Lynnwood prosecuting attorney I am very aware of what the Judge does with DUI cases in Lynnwood and how the prosecutors act with DUI cases in Lynnwood. I would be happy to discuss any DUI case in Lynnwood for free.

Island County DUI Attorney: Changes in Island County DUI Prosecuting Attorneys

Changes in Island County DUI Prosecuting Attorneys

For the last couple of years Island County has maintained two prosecuting attorneys in their District Court in Oak Harbor. This has resulted in DUI defendants facing a prosecuting attorney who was not as over burdened as other prosecutors (look at Lynnwood prosecuting attorneys or Skagit County prosecuting attorneys as examples). What this meant is that Island County prosecutors had plenty of time to work a case, argue DUI motions, or even do DUI trials. However, as of January 3^rd one of these two DUI prosecuting attorneys in Island County is moving on leaving only one District Court prosecutor. This means more work and less time to do it. How this affects the defense of DUI cases in Island County remains to be seen.

Lynnwood DUI Attorney: Washington State Patrol Press Release regarding "breath test estimates"

Announcement from the Washington State Patrol, Toxicology Laboratory Division regarding breath test estimates.

By the way, did you know that your BAC results are just "estimates" and not actual numbers? Here is the press release:

December 13, 2010 - The Washington State Patrol, Toxicology Laboratory Division now provides estimates of breath alcohol measurement uncertainty (confidence intervals) with every Quality Assurance Procedure (QAP) performed. This replaces the recent practice of the Division producing estimates of measurement uncertainty for individual breath alcohol results. Person's submitting individual requests for breath alcohol uncertainty (confidence intervals) to the Washington State Patrol will be directed to use the uncertainty tables present on this website.

To access the uncertainty tables, identify the instrument used for your test and then access the records for the calibration completed prior to the test. These are located in the "Q.A. Forms" drop down list accessed through the "DataMaster Search" section. Measurement uncertainty estimates have been included for all instrument QAP's performed since 2009.

The uncertainty sources and equations can be found in the "BTP Public Records Index" section on this site, under the link "Uncertainty". The production of breath alcohol testing-uncertainty estimates should not be construed as having being reviewed or endorsed by any accrediting organization.

If you have further questions or do not find the records you are seeking, please contact the Breath Test Program at Breathtest@wsp.wa.gov or call the Breath Test Program in your local area:
