Colorado BAC Test Attorney

If you or your loved one has been arrested for DUI in the Aurora area, contact the law offices of the Aurora DUI attorney today.

Here in the state of Colorado, the police will more than likely administer one or more tests to determine your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), which is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol to be found in your blood. If your BAC is .08% or above, it is higher than the legal limit for alcohol in our state.

There are three methods of BAC testing: breath, blood, and urine.

Breath tests are typically administered at the scene of a traffic stop using a small device known as a breathalyzer. In the state of Colorado, police officials use the Intoxylizer 500EN, a machine that works by multiplying a sample of the alcohol found in your breath and multiplying it by a standardized ratio. Breathalyzers are somewhat problematic in that they are rarely accurate. Depending on your medical history, you may not even be eligible for breath testing, invalidating any BAC results the prosecution attempts to use.

Our Aurora DUI Lawyer Can Find Faults with the Test

Blood tests are generally thought of as a more accurate method of BAC testing. But these test results can be invalidated too if not taken under strict protocol. Urine tests are the least common, but still administered either by police request or the request of the arrestee.

Even if your BAC level reading is above the legal limit your DUI arrest does not have to result in a conviction. The science of these BAC tests can be contested and defeated in court with the help of an experienced attorney.
