Fort Lauderdale DUI defense attorney Carlos A. Canet is currently engaged in an important Intoxilyzer 8000 project in Broward County. Mr. Canet is a DUI Defense lawyer with Miami-Dade DUI cases, Broward County DUI cases, Fort Lauderdale DUI cases and Palm Beach County DUI cases, and has employed the services of expert witnesses that specialize in problems related to the Intoxilyzer 8000, to assist in the challenge to breath test results.
The controversial intoxilyzer 8000 machines must be maintained properly, otherwise they can register false positives in Florida DUI arrests, this problem has been highlighted through expert testimony. Broward County court is seeing issues such as the accuracy and reliability of the breath testing machines raised. There has been a fundamental collapse in the area of agency guidance and machine maintenance dating back years, potentially having affected older DUI case results as well as current cases.
The issue of plug pull inspections is also being raised in Broward County court. A defense expert will be called to testify that the power was cut off during department and agency Intoxilyzer inspections several times during 2007 and 2008. According to Mr. Canet, the BSO Intoxilyzer inspections are not valid because FDLE procedure was not adhered to by agency inspectors, rendering the machine incapable of distinguishing between alcohol and other common volatile organic compounds found in the breath. Lastly, the FDLE has failed to specify a procedure for control testing that falls outside acceptable tolerance during a subject breath test.
This latest project is the most recent effort by DUI Defense Lawyer Carlos A. Canet to assist his clients in winning their DUI cases in Broward County. However, the firm also handles Miami-Dade DUI cases and Palm Beach DUI cases. To learn more on this and other Florida DUI issues, visit http://www.carlos-canet.com today.
