Attorneys from The Law Offices of Saia & Piatt, Inc. Receive BAC DataMaster Training
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) April 08, 2014 -- On Saturday April 5, 2014, all of the attorneys at The Law Offices of Saia & Piatt, Inc. attended an 8-hour training session on the BAC DataMaster breath alcohol testing instrument to better understand the principles and techniques behind breath alcohol testing. The training covered potential flaws and inaccuracies of breath alcohol testing, which will assist the Columbus OVI lawyers in better defending their clients charged with the crime of operating a vehicle under the influence. OVI defense is one of the areas of law practiced by The Law Offices of Saia & Piatt.
In the training session, the attorneys learned about the science behind breath alcohol testing, how alcohol affects the human body, and the current status of law surrounding breath alcohol testing. The legal professionals specifically learned about the BAC DataMaster, including the following: a breakdown of the instrument; the instrument’s calibration; simulation checks of the instrument; flaws in its design, manufacturing and programming; manipulation of the testing process and the testing instrument; and a comparison between the BAC DataMaster and the BAC DataMaster DMT.
Learning about breath testing instruments and the general flaws behind the science of breath alcohol testing is very important in the practice of OVI defense, as breath test results are usually the major form of evidence in drunk driving cases. While law enforcement relies heavily on breath testing in such cases, these testing devices and the testing process are not perfect. There are many cases in which errors lead to inaccurate or misleading test results that cause the driver being falsely accused of OVI.
