the breath analyzer reading will be offered as evidence of that crime, although the issue is what the brac was at the time of driving rather than at the time of the test. some jurisdictions, such as the state of washington, now allow the use of breath analyzer test results without regard as to how much time passed between operation of the vehicle and the time the test was administered. the suspect will also be charged with driving under the influence of alcohol (sometimes referred to as driving or operating while intoxicated). while brac tests are not necessary to prove a defendant was under the influence, laws in most states require the jury to presume that he was under the influence if his brac is found and believed to be over 0.08 (grams of alcohol/210 liters breath) when driving. in california, this is once again demonstrated by california vehicle code section 23152(b) and cal-crim 2111, which states: "if the people have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that a sample of the defendant's (blood/breath/urine) was taken within three hours of the defendant's [alleged] driving and that a chemical analysis of the sample showed a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or more, you may, but are not required to, conclude that the defendant's blood alcohol level was 0.08 percent or more at the time of the alleged offense." this creates a rebuttable presumption, which means it is presumed, but that presumption can be rebutted if a jury finds it unreliable or if other evidence establishes a reasonable doubt as to whether the person actually drove with a breath or blood alcohol level of 0.08% or greater. this would not apply to states that have done away with the presumption, such as the state of washington, as previously referenced.
