The California Supreme Court ruled on July 9th, 2009 that lawyers can attack the accuracy of state administered breath tests for alcohol. California has a DUI legal framework very similar to that of Georgia's DUI laws. There is a "per se" law which requires prosecutors merely to prove that a suspected DUI Driver is over the legal limit of 0.08 grams of alcohol per 2.10 liters of air. The Per Se law does not consider impairment at all. On the other hand, there is another DUI law termed "less safe" which requires proof of impairment such as the odor of alcohol, red and glassy eyes, imbalance, slurred speech, poor performance on field sobriety tests and proof of less safe driving such as weaving or an accident. State Administered DUI Alcohol Breath Testing devices use a basic formal know as Henry's Law to convert breath results to blood-alcohol levels. However, Henry's Law is somewhat flawed as a general measure for converting breath results to blood-alcohol levels for all DUI suspects. Most breath testing machines assume certain variables in the population including medical conditions, physiology, gender, temperature, atmospheric pressure and the precision of the individual machine. However, the California Supreme Court noted that these factors vary from person to person and are not as the formula assumes constant across the population in all conditions and may in fact cause the machine to overstate alcohol concentrations. This conclusion was confirmed by experts for both the Defendant and the Prosecution.
"Evidence casting doubt on the accuracy of the breath-to-blood conversion ratio is just as relevant as other evidence rebutting the presumption of intoxication from a breath test result, such as evidence that the defendant had a high tolerance for alcohol or performed well in field sobriety testing," the California Supreme Court wrote. At least in California, you can confront the breath machine for purposes of the Sixth Amendment right to confrontation, but a DUI Defendant still has to hire a breath test expire to contest a breath result. Wonder if the trial courts will pay for experts for poor DUI Defendants?
Think you only have to worry about getting a DUI on the highway this summer holiday. Think again. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources is cracking down on Boating under the Influence. If you are operating a boat and drinking, you may get stopped by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and asked to recite your alphabet or put on a life jacket inside out. You might be asked to go a-shore and walk a line or balance on one foot. If you are arrest for Boating Under the Influence, the next stop is either jail or court or both. Last year 218 people were arrested on Georgia lakes like Lake Lanier for Boating under the Influence or BUI. This year so far 78 people have been arrested for BUI.

On October 7, 2008, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, decided ARIZONA v. GANT, No. 07–542, Justice Stevens held that the Police may search the passenger compartment of a vehicle incident to arrest only if the arrest is recent in time, it is reasonable to believe that the arrestee might access the vehicle at the time of the search or the vehicle contains evidence of the arrest.
Gant was arrested for driving on a suspended license, handcuffed, and locked in a patrol car. Officers searched his car and found cocaine in a jacket pocket lying in the back seat. The Arizona State Supreme Court distinguished New York v. Belton, 453 U. S. 454 —which held that police may search the passenger compartment of a vehicle and any containers therein as a contemporaneous incident of a recent occupant’s lawful arrest—on the ground that it concerned the scope of a search incident to arrest but did not answer the question whether officers may conduct such a search once the scene has been secured. Chimel v. California, 395 U. S. 752 , requires that a search incident to arrest be justified by either the interest in officer safety or the interest in preserving evidence and the circumstances of Gant’s arrest implicated neither of those interests, the State Supreme Court found the search unreasonable.
The Supreme Court held that Warrantless searches “are per se unreasonable,” “subject only to a few specifically established and well-delineated exceptions.” Katz v. United States, 389 U. S. 347 . The exception for a search incident to a lawful arrest applies only to “the area from within which [an arrestee] might gain possession of a weapon or destructible evidence.” Chimel, 395 U. S., at 763. This Court applied that exception to the automobile context in Belton, the holding of which rested in large part on the assumption that articles inside a vehicle’s passenger compartment are “generally … within ‘the area into which an arrestee might reach.’ ” 453 U. S., at 460. Pp. 5–8.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a broad reading of Belton that would permit a vehicle search incident to a recent occupant’s arrest even if there were no possibility the arrestee could gain access to the vehicle at the time of the search. The safety and evidentiary justifications underlying Chimel’s exception authorize a vehicle search only when there is a reasonable possibility of such access. Although it does not follow from Chimel, circumstances unique to the automobile context also justify a search incident to a lawful arrest when it is “reasonable to believe evidence relevant to the crime of arrest might be found in the vehicle.” Thornton v. United States, 541 U. S. 615 (Scalia, J., concurring in judgment). Neither Chimel’s reaching-distancerule nor Thornton’s allowance for evidentiary searches authorized the search in this case where Gant was arrested for driving with a suspended license—an offense for which police could not reasonably expect to find evidence in Gant’s car. Cf. Knowles v. Iowa, 525 U. S. 113 . The search in this case was therefore unreasonable. Pp. 8–11.
The U.S. Supreme Court is unpersuaded by the State’s argument that its expansive reading of Belton correctly balances law enforcement interests with an arrestee’s limited privacy interest in his vehicle. The State seriously undervalued the privacy interests at stake in an automobile, and it exaggerates both the clarity provided by a broad reading of Belton and its importance to law enforcement interests. A narrow reading of Belton and Thornton,together with this Court’s other Fourth Amendment decisions, e.g., Michigan v. Long, 463 U. S. 103 , and United States v. Ross, 456 U. S. 798 , permit an officer to search a vehicle when safety or evidentiary concerns demand. Pp. 11–14.
The Supreme Court held that stare decisis does not require adherence to a broad reading of Belton. The experience of the 28 years since Belton has shown that the generalization underpinning the broad reading of that decision is unfounded, and blind adherence to its faulty assumption would authorize myriad unconstitutional searches. Pp. 15–18.
Stevens, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Scalia, Souter, Thomas, and Ginsburg, JJ., joined. Scalia, J., filed a concurring opinion. Breyer, J., filed a dissenting opinion. Alito, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Roberts, C. J., and Kennedy, J., joined, and in which Breyer, J., joined except as to Part II–E.
The City of John's Creek Police Department announced a John's Creek DUI shakedown for the July 4th, 2009 weekend. The John's Creek Police Department will impliment numerous DUI Roadblocks at random locations throughout the July 4th, 2009 weekend. The John's Creek Police Department has purchased a new mobile Intoxilyzer 5000 DUI breath testing Trailer so they can administer the state administered breath test on scene and arrest more suspected DUI drivers in John's Creek. Be Careful and do not drink and drive. It takes very little alcohol to register over the legal limit. DUI has nothing to do with being Drunk. Remember, it is generally in your interest not to blow if you would like to beat a DUI charge. If you blow over the legal limit the State does not have to prove you are drunk or impaired just that you are over the limit. You maybe able to walk on you hands and do a back handspring but you will still be legally DUI if you blow over the legal limit.
