Does Arizona have statutes (units) for both breath and blood?

Arizona does have statutes that govern both breath and blood testing in the context of DUI enforcement. The state has established laws that outline the procedures, acceptable instruments, and legal implications associated with both types of tests.

For breath testing, the Intoxilyzer 8000 is one of the approved devices used to measure blood alcohol content (BAC). The legal framework ensures that breath analysis is conducted under certain guidelines to maintain accuracy and reliability.

Additionally, blood testing is also covered under Arizona law, providing law enforcement with the authority to obtain blood samples under specific circumstances, such as when a breath test is not feasible or when there are other pertinent factors involved in the investigation.

Both breath and blood statutes ensure that the processes for testing are standardized and defendable in court, which is essential for upholding the law and ensuring due process. This dual approach allows law enforcement to effectively manage cases of suspected impaired driving with flexible options for gathering evidence.
