Minnesota Joins Source Code Battle
Late last month, the Supreme Court of Minnesota agreed with defense attorney’s regarding the source code for the Intoxilyzer 5000 EN. The defense argued, successfully, the the source code (the operating software inside the breasth test device) was the property of the State not CMI and was therefore subject to discovery, the Supreme Court agreed and set a date in September for CMI (the manufacturer of the breath test device) to turn over the source code. This is a big win for the defense as the source code is the software that determines how the breath alcohol concentration is determined by the breath tester.
