DUI AND DWI ENFORCEMENT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST WOMEN
By now, it should be no secret that the hocus-pocus breath test devices (breathalyzers) and highly-subjective field sobriety tests (FST's) used by law enforcement to allegedly arrest and convict drunk drivers actually discriminate against women drivers. All of these law enforcement gimmicks are allegedly designed for the "average person", which in reality means the " average male". The problem is : there is no such entity as the "average male"; and worse, no attempt or consideration is made at all to factor in "women" and their unique traits, etc.
It certainly should not be contested these days that women are different physiologically from men.
And, due principally to those physiological differences, women and men absorb alcohol differently.
In other words, women and men " metabolize" alcohol differently.
Women have less water in their bodies and more adipose tissue, of fat, which is not easily penetrated by alcohol (ethanol), which in turn causes women to reach artificially higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels faster than me. In sum, breath tests simply do not record women's true BAC levels accurately, thus creating a bias against them in determining alleged drunkenness.
Further, the standardized field sobriety tests are simply not designed to accommodate women; thus, again, making them more difficult for women to perform. This, of course, causes women on average to appear more intoxicated than men.
If you are a woman who has been arrested for driving under the influence in Howard County or anywhere in the State of Maryland, you need an experienced DUI defense attorney who understands these complex issues and the unique defenses that are available to women. Give us a call --- we can, and we will, help you.
