This machine, the Intoxilyzer 8000, soon could be the friend, not the foe, of thousands of people being tried for DUI.
The machine is in wide use in Arizona, and many of the units utilize software that even the president of the company that makes the Intoxilyzer says is riddled with bugs, according to Tucson lawyer James Nesci.
Nesci tells New Times he believes a pending DUI court case in the Pima County Superior Court could have wide-ranging effects throughout the whole state, not just the Tucson area.
“I can tell you with absolute certainty that every breath test result on an Intoxilyzer 8000 is inaccurate,” Nesci says.
That doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate enough in every case to give wildly wrong results, such as showing that a totally sober person is drunk. On the other hand, showing the machine routinely spits out faulty data would make all of its readings suspect, the lawyer says.
