What does a "pass" reading from the Intoxilyzer 9000 indicate?

A "pass" reading from the Intoxilyzer 9000 indicates that the individual's Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is below the legal limit set by law, which is typically 0.08% in many jurisdictions, including Georgia. This means that while the individual may have consumed alcohol, their BAC is at a level that does not meet the threshold for driving under the influence (DUI).

This reading does not necessarily mean the individual is entirely sober or that they have not consumed any alcohol at all; they could still be under the influence but remain within legal limits. Hence, while a "pass" is an indication that they are below the legal BAC threshold, it does not guarantee that the person is completely sober or unaffected by alcohol consumption. Therefore, the legal implications regarding DUI charges are linked to the specific BAC level rather than the absence of alcohol consumption altogether.
