I got a dui a few weeks ago.
I blew a 0.10. This was using an intoxilzyer 5000 I believe.
I want to prove that the police did not calibrate the machine recently or did not perform maintenance on the 15 year old machine.
The tests were carried out, Directions per the manual were followed correctly.
I think I need to file a motion that has the records on the machine and not sure exactly sure how to do this or when in the process to do this. I have arraingment next month, at this point I will request a jury trial.
This is the only defense I can come up with since the cops followed procedure very well. I'm not sure what avenues to try.
They also threw out some other charges like wreckless driving, open container, etc. I just got the one ticket. I'd like to get it knocked down to wreckless driving.
I cant afford a lawyer and have been denied a public defender, I do make ok money but 3/4 of my income each month goes just toward rent and utilities (no joke!)
Therefore I'm trying to fight it on my own. Just looking for advice on how to get records and such to look over and see if they did everything right on the breathalizyer side.
