I’ve learned a lot from listening to Stephen R. Adams, an attorney who specializes in DUI.
He has led a lonely fight against lazy, mendacious and greedy governments, police agencies and bureaucrats.
The errors, bugs, misuse, flaws, etc. involving these machines are legion. We have all seen systems that utilize hardware and software - ATMs, parking ticket machines, and computers themselves - have major problems and frequent crashes. The intoxilyzers are no different and often worse - the manufacturers themselves have been forced to admit their code was flawed! Agencies using the machines often do so incorrectly, do not calibrate them properly or in a timely fashion, etc. etc. yet these very flawed, potentially buggy machines are treated as the Oracle Of Truth by far too many.
As you say, the scam began long ago and continues to grow, with BAC levels untethered from science/medicine (as planned all along). MADD is now like Planned Parenthood - a back-scratching society with politicians with tax dollars flowing back and forth.

The machines are 100% effective. At making lots of revenue, which is their only practical use.
