Re: city ordinance violation
Breathalizers are admissible in evidence in Illinois. It's results are pretty much taken as gospel. If you have thousands of dollars to use on your daughter's defense, hire a lawyer and then insist that he hire an expert witness to attack the validity of the breathalizer. By the way, since she's 18 the law is zero tolerance. It doesn't matter if she registered .0001, she'll be found guilty. The best advice I can give you is to hire a lawyer. Good luck.
