"Could the fact that a person has had hepatitis compromise liver function enough to miscue alcohol breath testing results"
I think that could depend on how "compromised" your liver is. And unless you have late stage cirrohsis and very jaundice, I would guess no to your original question.
And if your RTC is like our NYC traffic system, you have absolutely no shot. Good luck though.
Although a heptoligist can easily confirm that alcohol is harmful to the liver, I have not read stduies that prove that alcohol breath test is less accurate with a person with Hep B than without. Without such studies, the judge may be hard to be moved to your point of view.
I was recently pulled over on a random breath test. I was found and charged with an alcohol reading of .05 (that's exactly the limit). My defence will be that I had always kept to the recommended safe drinking level and that the reason why I failed the test was that the amount of alcohol taken was not absorbed AS QUICKLY as a person with without Hep.
What I need at this junction is a heptoligest who can argue my point in a court of law.
I believe that this type of defence has been successfully initiated in a previous Australian court. Does anybody know about this case.
There may be some instances whereby a person may have been charged prejudically whilst suffering from the illness. I believe that the R.T.A. (roads and traffic authority) is negligent is not informing people that their test may be compromised. People with the disease should drink less that the recommended safe drinking level. I contend that the present arrangement is a form of discrimination
--Alcohol damages your liver, not the other way round. Not sure if it can be the case that your liver is so compromised that it cannot detoxify alcohol so that you fail the alcohol breath test.
Why drink?
