The results of a roadside breathalyzer test are not always accurate or admissible. There are a number of legal hurdles that the prosecution must satisfy prior to the results being admitted into evidence. First, the officer administering the test must be currently certified as a breathalyzer operator by the Rhode Island Department of Health. Second, the preliminary breath test machine must have been tested and comply with the Rhode Island Department of Health breath testing protocols. There are numerous legal challenges to the admissibility of the results of the preliminary breath test.
