Can you get convicted of a DWI if no breathalyzer test was administered?

Indeed you can be convicted for DWI, regardless of whether or not a breathalyzer was used, if the Police officer that stopped you had reason to be suspicious of you being intoxicated while driving; ie: you were swerving or driving really slow, then proceeded to pull you over and could tell you were drunk by possibly your actions either verbal or non verbal they can bring up charges in the court of law and have a reasonable case against you. I wasn't there but if you actually were DWI it was probably pretty obvious to the officer so I would save your self some time and plead guilty. Good luck to you anyways. The above is the most ridiculous answer I've ever heard. ANY defense lawyer specializing in drunk driving cases would be able to get you off if there was no breathalyzer nor chemical test done to prove intoxication. Without these tests the definition of intoxication would be at the whim of the arresting officer. "He looked drunk to me."


What is the highest you can blow on a breathalyzer test?

The highest you can blow on a breathalyzer test would typically be a result of 0.40% blood alcohol content (BAC). At this level, a person is at risk of severe alcohol poisoning and potential death due to the suppression of vital functions in the body. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention at this level.


What if you don't breath hard into a breathalyzer?

If you don't breathe hard enough into a breathalyzer, the device may not be able to accurately measure your breath alcohol content. This could result in an inconclusive or inaccurate reading. It's important to follow the instructions provided with the breathalyzer to ensure a reliable result.


Is it legal to make passengers take a breathalyzer if the driver blows zeros?

I don't have much experience here, but I believe that if the passengers are under 21 and the officers have probable cause to believe that they were drinking, it's legal. That's assuming that the officer is looking to make an arrest for underage consumption


how does the court test for alcohol?

Assuming you mean Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) the court (or police department) has two main ways. The first is the breathalyzer test, which involves blowing into a tube while a computer analyzes the amount of alcohol on your breath. The second (and most accurate) method is through a blood test where the actual BAC is measured by using blood taken from your body.
