What is Title 17 and how can it help you beat a DUI in Paso Robles? Title 17 is a book of regulations that govern how breath and blood tests are to be conducted in the State of California. The regulations are rules that must be followed before a chemical test can be used in Court or at a DMV hearing following a DUI arrest. There are many rules that make up Title 17, one of them is that the police officer must continuously observe a subject for 15 minutes prior to administering a breath test for drunk driving. The observation is necessary to rule out any contamination from mouth alcohol such as a burp or belch or regurgitation. Many police officers don’t follow the rules or even know what they are. Fortunately when you hire attorney Matthew Ruff, he knows the rules and how to use them to win your driving under the influence case.
Here is an example of how Matthew beats DWI cases. In fact Matt has beat cases with very high blood alcohol results by showing the rules were not followed. Here is an actual case where Matt beat a .17/.17 breath test case for a client in Paso Robles California:
Matthew was retained by a client involved in a traffic collision on the 101 Freeway between Paso Robles and Atascadero. An Officer of the Atascadero Police Department, came into contact with the client as a result of a traffic collision. The client was consequently arrested for violation of 23152 VC (DUI), and given a breath test. Although the Officer signed the sworn DMV statement (DS-367 form) stating that he completed the breath test pursuant to Title 17 requirements, he testified that he did not know what the Title 17 requirements were for a breath test. The officer also testified that during the 10 minutes between the time of arrest (2117 hrs) and the time of breath test (2127 hrs), he secured respondent's vehicle at the scene while respondent was handcuffed and seated in the patrol vehicle, then transported respondent to the police station where he then administered the breath test.
Based on the testimony of the officer at the DMV Hearing it was quite apparent that there was not a continuous observation of the client throughout the 15 minutes prior to the breath test and as a result Matthew got the test thrown out.
How you breathe may affect the breath test!
Recent scientific research has shown there’s a 0.02 - 0.04 difference in alcohol concentration depending on how long you blow. Scientists have discovered the duration of the breath blow during the test has a huge impact on the results, with longer blows resulting in higher readings. Research found that 24-second blows were 0.02-0.04 higher than 6-second blows. This means a person who took a breath test and produced results of .11% BAC could have actually been as low as a .07% which is below the legal limit in California. Matthew is skilled in exposing this type of error in DUI testing and use it to get many cases dismissed or dropped!
