			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have previously written about on-going court challenges against CMI, the manufacturer of the Intoxilyzer breath test machine.&nbsp; DUI defense lawyers have long wanted to gain access to the Intoxilyzer source code in order to have it analyzed by independent programmers, biologists and phyicists. </p>
<p>My suspicion, which is shared by many DUI lawyers is that the Intoxilyzer&#039;s internal calculations are based on calculations that assume a certain weight and size and sex of a defendant.&nbsp; If the readings are based on a 200 lb. male, then the machine can&#039;t possible evaluate the blood alcohol level of a 98 lb. female.</p>
<p>CMI has long argued against turning over the source code, contending that the source code is proprietary information and that releasing it could damage or destroy its business model.</p>
<p>It appears to me that CMI may not have much of a choice.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20080309/COMMUNITY/803090560" target="_blank">A judge in Sarasota County, Florida has levied a fine against CMI for stalling the prosecution of more than 100 cases</a>.&nbsp; The fine is now over $500,000.&nbsp; CMI&#039;s attorneys recently appeared before a 3 judge panel in Sarasota to argue that its source code is a trade secret.</p>
<p>CMI has already agreed to a &quot;controlled viewing&quot; of the source code that would bind all viewers to secrecy.</p>
<p>We will keep you posted as to developments in Florida.&nbsp; If CMI loses, I expect to see immediate challenges to Intoxilyzer testing here in Georgia.</p>
