Can an blood test show more alcohol than a breathalyzer test?

Nathaniel D Shafer
Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer
DUI/DWI lawyer at Natty Shafer Law
Yes, it's possible for the blood test to be higher. A breathalyzer is less accurate than the blood test. Sometimes that inaccuracy favors you when it shouldn't. That being said, it's possible to be charged with a metabolite DUI in Utah for having any traces of a drug in your blood. Hire an attorney to get the best chances of a favorable outcome with your case.

I had never refused a breathalyzer test, would that constitute coerced consent?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
DUI/DWI lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Basically if you don't take it for any reason they can count it as a refusal. It would only be an Erdman issue if he coerced you into taking it. But you never took it right?

Why is the DWI that was dismissed on record and can the court, use that against me?

John E. DeVito
Answered by attorney John E. DeVito (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at John DeVito
This is a common misnomer. People believe that if a case is dismissed it is not on their criminal record. In Massachusetts a "court record" is created once a complaint issues. A "criminal record" or CORI is created once a defendant is arraigned on the charges. The charges may ultimately be dismissed, but the dismissal is reflected on the CORI. The importance of a dismissal is that one can honestly state that they were never convicted of the crime charged. To clear your record in Massachusetts one must seal their record. Sealing a record does not necessarily mean that someone cannot find that you were arrested. If one is arrested and fingerprinted in Massachusetts all fingerprints are sent to the FBI. That creates an arrest record which is difficult to seal. If you have concerns about your record consult an experienced criminal attorney.
