This would be of only mild interest EXCEPT we use the same Intoxilyzer 8000 machines here in Ontario.
How many questionable results have been recorded here?
"For years, drivers across Florida have been arrested and convicted of DUI charges based on flawed alcohol breath test machines that reported impossible results.
The problematic Intoxilyzer 8000s stayed in service, unquestioned, because state officials never tested a key component or performed mandatory reviews of every breath test.
As a result, thousands of DUI breath tests taken on machines as far back as 2006 inaccurately measured the amount of breath being blown into them. Experts and a Sarasota County judge have now said the tests on one of the worst machines — used in Venice — cannot be relied on, raising questions of whether drivers statewide wrongfully faced DUI charges."
