What would you say, exactly?
If you said:
"your honor, breathalyzers can be tampered with to provide false readings"
It seems quite easy for anyone to respond with "how so?". Do you refer to "this one time in New Jersey"?
- peterwwillis 9y agoAre you asking me to explain how trial law works?
- jfoutz 9y agoi have an expert that can explain various methods. Also, please release the device for the defenses inspection.

A lot of people's careers rely on those records being correct, up to including a perjury charge if they're falsified.
