Long Island DWI Defense Lawyer
Challenging BAC Evidence in DWI Charges
BAC, or blood alcohol concentration, is the amount of alcohol that is present in one's bloodstream. Your BAC can be calculated through the use of a breathalyzer or blood test. A breathalyzer test is administered to individuals who have been pulled over for suspicion of a drunk driving. If you are pulled over and your BAC is at or above.08% then you will be arrested for a DWI.
Breath & blood tests are not always accurate when calculating blood alcohol concentration as many variables can affect the results. These results can be challenged in court. A Long Island DWI defense lawyer can provide you with the legal representation you need to defend and challenge your BAC testing evidence.
