In 2008, Breathalyzer tests were thrown out  in King County, Washington after problems in the toxicology labs were discovered. As of now, police officials can use a Breathalyzer tests if they suspect that a driver is drunk, but the results can not be used in the court room.

The test results were thrown out after it was found that the lab was not calibrating them correctly. Now, prosecutors are fighting to get the results of Breathalyzer tests used in court because it could effect thousands of cases a year.They believe that the new management has improved the quality of the tests.

Others in favor of the reinstating the Breathalyzer results are arguing to a three-judge panel and are using nine specific case examples in their argument.
