hi I'm Patrick Barone of the Barone
defense firm located in Birmingham
Michigan and I'm here to talk to you
about how to beat a breath test that's
the question we get all the time from
our clients they come into our office
they blown over the legal limit and they
want to know how are we going to beat
that breath test and I'm here to tell
you there are dozens of ways to beat the
breath test in Michigan the Michigan
breath test machine is called the data
master and that machine makes mistakes
not only does the machine make mistakes
but the operator of the machine makes
mistakes that's two of the three
categories the third category are
medical problems okay
there's more than a hundred ways to beat
a breath test I've written about them
right here in my book defending drinking
drivers and I'm going to talk to you a
little bit about them right now machine
based problems in order for that machine
to be working properly it has to be
maintained properly and the police have
to keep logs on the maintenance
sometimes we can find those logs we can
find mistakes in those logs and we can
capitalize on those mistakes to show
that the breath test in your case is
wrong now if we can't find that kind of
a problem then we're going to look at
the videotape we're going to get the cop
on the stand and we're going to ask that
cop questions we're going to show that
the cop made a mistake in administering
the breath test trust me
happens all the time the cops make
mistakes they don't follow their own
rules in administering that test if we
can show that the cotton made a mistake
we can beat that breath test the third
category of potential defenses are
medical issues there's lots of potential
medical issues that can cause problems
with the breath test that's why in our
office we have a very detailed medical
questionnaire we're going to ask you to
fill out the purpose of that is to help
us spot medical issues that can cause
problems with your breath test for
example any issue with your digestive
system any issue with your respiratory
system potentially can cause a problem
with the breath test if you had a
temperature at the time he took that
breath test that can cause an inflated
and result what we're looking for is a
medical condition that caused a false
result in your case if we find that we
know what to do we know how to
capitalize with that problem in front of
the judge and in front of the jury to
beat the breath test in your case now if
