There are specific steps that the officer needs to follow before you are given the breathalyzer test. I would need more information about the procedures that were followed and what do you think was in the bottle the officer gave you? I think you would have an extremely difficult time getting that evidence excluded on that basis alone, but as I said, I would need more information. Have you already been arraigned? Do you qualify for a court appointed attorney? Also, what county?
