Re: administering breathalyzers

Not if the machine was operating properly. Check the ticket that was printed out after your test. There should be a reference to "ambient zeroing" or "blank check". These are tests that are run before and after your tests to make sure that there is no alcohol in the breath chamber. Both results should be .00. If you have any questions about how you could get a false positive, feel free to give me a call. John C. Talpos (248) 743-6800 (http://www.Mich-Lawyer.com)
