The Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC is excited to announce that
we have recently acquired a DataMaster breath testing machine, which is
the tool used by law enforcement agencies throughout South Carolina. This
machine measures the blood alcohol levels in a suspect's mouth once
they have been arrested for suspected drunk driving. For example, the
Lexington County Detention Center will test a
DUI
suspect's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) after their arrest by taking
them into a small room and giving them the opportunity to blow into the
DataMaster breath testing machine.
Since the DataMaster machine has certain parameters within which it operates, most individuals are hesitant to provide a breath sample. Many have concerns about the reliability of the readings; however, failing to provide a sample is something that can be used against the defendant later in court. By acquiring a DataMaster breath testing machine of our own, the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC will be able to become more familiar with the administration of the breath test itself, as well as the correct operation and maintenance procedures that law enforcement agencies are expected to uphold.
For this reason, you should not hesitate to consult a Lexington DUI defense lawyer at our firm if you or someone you love has been arrested for suspected drunk driving. Call now!
