Alcotest 7110-New DWI Test In New Jersey

In State v. Jane H. Chun, the state Supreme Court on March 17, 2008 ruled that the Alcotest 7110 breath test used by police throughout the state is scientifically reliable.

Since Jan. 10, 2006, an order known as the "Chun stay" has allowed people who entered guilty pleas to driving while intoxicated to hold onto their driver's licenses pending the high court's exhaustive review of the Alcotest.

The ruling, which stems from a case by 28 defendants in Middlesex County, will allow roughly 10,000 drunken driving cases in New Jersey to move forward.
