Linn County to keep using intoxilyzer breath tests
Linn County Attorney Eugene Kopecky says the intoxilyzer breath test machine will remain in use locally despite a Sioux City ruling that its results are inadmissible. Judge Fachman in Woodbury County found the model unapproved by the federal DOT, but Kopecky notes local courts previously found admissibility and that the machine is used in well over half of drunk driving cases.
