The breathalyzer test that you take at the police station must be conducted in a reasonable amount of time from when you were operating your motor vehicle. Massachusetts law requires that any defendant, who has been arrested for OUI and whom consents to take the breath test, must have the test administered by a certified breath test device in a reasonable amount of time.
While there is no specific amount of time in which the police must administer the breath test to you, prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that, at the time you were driving your vehicle, your blood was .08 or greater. The breath test must relate to the time of driving. Another way to have breath test evidence excluded from consideration in your case is to argue that the officer did not comply with the observation period. The observation period of 15 minutes is important requirement for police officers to follow. Officers often do not strictly comply with this observation period and it can be a basis to get the breath test results excluded from evidence at trial.
