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 recently got a DWI and I don't believe the stop had viable cause.

Legally, there would be two ways to advance the argument you are making. The first would be in the form of a motion to suppress the arrest based on a lack of reasonable suspicion/probable cause to make the initial stop. If that argument failed, it could be possible to submit the same argument to the jury, by way of a specific request for a jury instruction, or a 38.23 instruction. Then, of course, there is the fight over whether the DWI is a good arrest. Even if you admitted to having drinks, I wouldn't throw in the towel on that argument. Remember, DWI is an opinion crime: in the officers opinion, based on the totality of the circumstances, he/she believed you had lost the normal use of your mental/physical faculties. Lastly, unless you were cited for DUI (i.e. under the age of 21) this is not a "ticket." A charge for DWI carries some pretty serious potential consequences, up to and including 6 months in County jail. So, while it is certainly a good idea to post questions and seek advice, I would caution you againt the idea of confronting this kind of case without a good defense lawyer.
