According to Maryland DWI lawyer Andy Alpert, it is important you understand your rights if faced with taking a breathalyzer test. If you are taken to a police station, you will first be read the Advice of Rights form. The purpose of this form is to advise you of your rights in regards to the test. It also serves to inform you of what the penalties towards your license will be if you refuse it or decide to submit to it. If you take the test you are required to give two samples. The results of the samples will be printed on a ticker tape. The ticker tape is what will be used against your driver’s license and against your Maryland DWI court case.

It is important you remember the police must do everything according to strict guidelines. These guidelines are the test administration guidelines set forth by the Maryland state toxicologist. If they follow improper procedure, and DWI lawyer Andy Alpert can prove it, it is possible he could keep the breath test out of evidence at trial.

The first thing DWI attorney Andy Alpert will do if you speak with him about your case is give you an extensive medical questionnaire. The purpose of this questionnaire is to discover if you have any medical problems which may effect the results of a breathalyzer.

If you take and fail a breathalyzer test, do not panic. Maryland DWI lawyer Andy Alpert realizes it is important to look at each case on an individual basis. Sometimes you do not know if breathalyzer test results can be used as evidence until you go to trial. Once there, it might be discovered an officer left out an element of the procedure, thus keeping the test results from being used as legal evidence.
