Breathalizer faults?
Do breathalizers have anything that can make them not accurate? For instance having something in the mouth upon testing, gum, snuff, ect.; would this possibly effect results? If so were could i find documentation of such proof?

Breath tests can be dramatically effected by the presence of other objects in your mouth. Meet with an attorney to discuss the case immediately.

Yes, breathalizers can be affected by substances in the mouth of the "testee", which is why the officer conducting the test is careful to ascertain that there are no such substances in the subject's mouth before beginning the test.
