Georgia Representative Kevin Levitas is banking more Georgia DUI capital at the State House in Atlanta with a new "tougher on DUI offenders" legislation in HB 92. Last year it was toughening sanctions for multiple DUI offenders. This year the target is first time DUI offenders. Soccer moms beware of that third glass of wine! It is well known that there is gender bias for DUI breath and blood testing based on female physiology. Women will test higher on DUI tests than a man based on the same amount of alcohol in their system just because of your gender. Impairment has nothing to do with a Georgia Breath test DUI as punishment is based on an arbitrary blood or breath alcohol DUI level. It is well known that alcohol effects different people differently. If you are arrested and convicted of a first offense DUI and register over 0.15 on a breath or blood test, then you will face punishment for a second in ten years DUI including ninety days in jail all of which maybe probated with the exception of a mandatory 72 hours, 30 days community service, mandatory drug and alochol evaluation, and a mandatory dui breath testing device installed on any vehicle you drive for six months. Georgia will be following the foot steps of Arizona and New Mexico and other states in this new more aggressive attack on social drinking and impaired and not just drunk driving. MADD is sponsoring a nationwide push for interlock breath testing devices on all first time DUI offenders. Installation can cost upward of $100.00 and monthly maintenance can be in the $80.00 range. It is now more important than ever if this legisltion is signed into law to refuse a blood or breath alcohol test. If you don't refuse, you will lose!
A man who was pulled over for suspicion of DUI in Covington, Georgia, Rockdale County did the turn and run test instead of the Walk and Turn test. He wasn't under arrest, so why can't a man run. He had an odor of alcohol, admitted to drinking a few beers, and had red and glassy eyes. The Covington Police asked the man to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests such as the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus or eye jerking test, the one leg stand and walk and turn. When the tests did not seem to be going his way, the man exclaimed "See ya" and began the 300 yard turn and run. Unfortunately, he slipped when hurdling a retaining wall and failed that test as well. He blew a .14 at the police station.
Washington Police have discovered that DUI breath tests on the Intoxilzyer 5000 have been flawed since 2008 and are dropping DUIs because of it. These are the same DUI breath test machines used in Georgia to incarcerate people for DUI arrests and DUIs in Atlanta. Unlike district authorities DUI law enforcement officials in Atlanta do not audit machines like they do in the nations capital. The machines were not properly calibrated. It was not caught until recently when the machines were audited. Despite repeated failures of the Intoxilyzer 5000, other states like Florida banning the machine and newer and more accurate Intoxilyzer 8000 on the market, Georgia authorities are not even looking at other devices. Georgia Appellate Courts have continued to limit Defense Attorney's ability to request information about the breath machine from the state or even subpoena evidence from the machine's manufacturer. Contributing to the "drive thru justice" mentality for DUI law enforcement. Don't believe me, click here to read the article.

These are the same DUI breath test machines used in Georgia to incarcerate people for DUI arrests and DUIs in Atlanta. Unlike district authorities DUI law enforcement officials in Atlanta do not audit machines like they do in the nations capital. The machines were not properly calibrated. It was not caught until recently when the machines were audited. Despite repeated failures of the Intoxilyzer 5000, other states like Florida banning the machine and newer and more accurate Intoxilyzer 8000 on the market, Georgia authorities are not even looking at other devices. Georgia Appellate Courts have continued to limit Defense Attorney's ability to request information about the breath machine from the state or even subpoena evidence from the machine's manufacturer. Contributing to the "drive thru justice" mentality for DUI law enforcement. Don't believe me,
