Besides just the code, how often are the machines calibrated and maintained? When I served on a grand jury a couple years back, I heard lots of cases where people blew 0.01 or less over. I asked the testifying officers in these cases how often the machines are checked for accuracy, and if there is a margin of error. They didn't know, saying that was the responsibility of others within the department. If these machines are being used to send people to jail, the public must have faith in their accuracy. I, for one, would like some answers to these questions if these machines will be used to decide a man's freedom.
