DUI Discriminates Against Women
Experienced Memphis Defense Lawyer: Women and DUI
Female Accused of Drunk Driving · Legal Challenge to Discriminatory Tests
"I have dedicated a large part of my professional life to studying the science of DUI. I know that a woman charged with DUI often got where she is because of a breath test or other method of measuring BAC (blood alcohol content) that was designed for men's bodies and metabolisms. I want to change the way the legal system handles women and DUI." — Paul E. Lewis
The standard breath test is calibrated to operate at 34 Celsius. The average ovulating woman can have a body temperature of 36. This two degree difference can radically affect the accuracy of the test, since warmer bodies tend to give off more alcohol, resulting in the breath test indicating a higher level of alcohol than that which is actually present.
Field sobriety tests also discriminate against women because of differences in body mass and center of balance. If you are a woman charged with DUI in Tennessee and you believe you were the victim of discriminatory tests, please contact our office today to schedule a free consultation with board certified DUI specialist attorney Paul E. Lewis.
