Boston OUI Attorney

Breath & Blood Tests

Massachusetts law calls for the arrest of an individual who drives or operates a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent or more.  To determine if a driver has a BAC level exceeding the legal limit, officers will test the driver’s BAC by means of a breath or blood test.  Breath tests are conducted by means of a breath machine, in which the driver blows into a hand-held device.  The machine will measure the amount of breath alcohol found in the driver’s deep lung region, which is said to correlate with the amount of alcohol in the blood.  Blood tests are conducted in a laboratory where a trained technician will draw a sample of the defendant’s blood for analysis.  If the results of the breath or blood test indicate the driver’s BAC is .08 percent or more, he or she will be arrested on OUI charges.
