I, myself, also heard a lot of weird stuff about DUI cases in Macon, Georgia and they are too many to mention. To answer one of your questions, the state of Georgia uses the Intoxilyzer 5000 as the breath test machine. There are several intriguing and interesting things to know about this breath test machine. The Intoxilyzer 5000 assumes that the breath and blood have a direct ratio of 2100:1. The true ratio of human beings ranges from about 1000:1 to over 3000:1. The ratio of 2100:1 assumption would help some people but hurts others.

This means that if a DWI suspect would take the Intoxilyzer 5000, he/she is risking that the result could be inaccurately skewed up by as much as 50%. The Intoxilyzer 5000 also assumes that the breath temperature is 34 degrees Celsius or about 93 degrees Fahrenheit. If the breath temperature is higher than 34 degrees Celsius, the test result would be higher than the true level. In a DUI case, an experienced DUI lawyer could definitely challenge the results of the breath test and could prove its inaccuracy.
