The issue of the effects that radio frequency interference have on DUI and DWI breath testing devices is very important but not frequently discussed.
Radio Frequency Interference ( or "RFI"), also called Electromagnetic Interference (or "EMI"), is "disturbance" that affects electrical circuits due to either electromagnetic induction or electromagnetic radiation emitted from external sources. This "disturbance" ( RFI or EMI) may interrupt, obstruct, disrupt, or otherwise degrade or limit the effective performance of the electrical circuit. The effects caused can range from a basic degradation of data in the electrical circuit device or even a total loss of data in the device --- such as the DUI and DWI breath testing device.
In a nutshell, RFI or EMI can adversely affect the accuracy of DUI and DWI breath testing devices, and render them useless.
Common electronic (electric circuit) products which emit RFI or EMI radiation include, among many others, cellphones, televisions, computers, walkie-talkie type devices, security cameras, microwaves, etc.--- some or all of which can be in close proximity to a breath testing device that is in use at the police precinct, et al.
Breath tests are very important evidence in the eyes of judges and jurors. These tests must be extremely accurate in order to convict someone of drunk driving. If any of the external radiation-emitting devices I have mentioned,supra, are "in the room" (in close proximity) with the breath testing machine at the time of testing, accuracy of the machine can be compromised.
