			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>California DUI defense lawyer <a title="Lawrence Taylor" target="_blank" href="http://www.duicentral.com/dui_law_firm/dui_lawyer.html">Lawrence Taylor</a> cites several fascinating studies in his <a title="DUI Blog" target="_blank" href="http://www.duiblog.com/">DUI blog</a> suggesting that how you breathe can dramatically impact the blood alcohol reading generated by a breath test.  For example, holding your breath for 30 seconds increased the blood alcohol content of your breath by over 15%.  Hyperventilating for 20 seconds decreased the BAC by 10%.</p>
<p>In his <a target="_blank" title="Breathing and Breathalyzer test" href="http://www.duiblog.com/2006/06/14#a421">post about breathing and breath tests</a>, Attorney Taylor also cites a research study by a University of Washington Professor of Physiology who found that the last part of your exhalation has a higher alcoholic content than the first part, meaning that a police officer&#039;s command to &#034;blow harder&#034; may very well result in a higher BAC reading on the breath test.</p>
<p>Georgia Courts have long rules that arrest scene breath tests are not admissable evidence. Mr. Taylor explains <a target="_blank" title="Flaws in Breathalyzer tests" href="http://www.duiblog.com/2006/06/20#a424">the science behind the reasons breath tests are flawed</a> in another post on his blog.   It would be interesting to know the psychological impact that a failed breath test has on a defendant&#039;s subsequent decisions to admit to alcoholic consumption or to not assert his other available rights.</p>
