For other motorists who are 21 or older, their BAC must be .08% in order for a legal arrest to be made. Beckham Law Firm, can defend you from charges of drunk driving by uncovering police misconduct or by proving that your breath or blood test was not valid.

As for breath and blood tests, breathalyzer machines can be improperly calibrated or faulty, and blood tests can be contaminated in the lab.
