What should an officer do if the Intoxilyzer 9000 indicates a BAC level above the legal limit?

When the Intoxilyzer 9000 indicates a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level above the legal limit, the appropriate course of action is to make an arrest based on the results. The Intoxilyzer 9000 is a reliable and legally recognized device for measuring BAC, and its results provide evidence that can be used in a court of law. Law enforcement officers are trained to understand that a reading above the legal limit signifies impairment, which justifies taking action to protect public safety.

Making an arrest in this scenario is crucial because it not only upholds the law but also helps prevent potential harm that a driver under the influence could cause to themselves and others on the road. It is important for officers to follow protocol and procedures regarding the arrest, including informing the individual of their rights and ensuring that evidence is collected and documented properly.

Other options may suggest alternative actions, but they would not align with the legal standards and protocols governing law enforcement responses to DUI situations.
