Snohomish County DUI Attorney: New BAC machine approved in Washington State DUI cases

Snohomish County 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

(c) The Drager Alcotest 9510.

(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.
