MARYLAND DUI DILEMMA FOR FEMALES : THE "GENDER FACTOR" BIAS

FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS, BREATH TESTING, BLOOD AND URINE TESTING

www.charlesjeromeware.com                    " Here to make a Difference."

     
 Premise:  When it comes to DUI and DWI enforcement, females are discriminated against.
 Standardized field sobriety tests (SFSTs),  breath tests (Breathalyzers), blood tests and urine tests that are used by law enforcement to arrest and prosecute DUI and DWI suspects all discriminate against females.

Males and females absorb alcohol differently, since their bodies are physiologically different.
Generally, females have less water in their bodies and more adipose tissue, or fat.  According to many experts in DUI cases, these tests tend to routinely score women artificially high in alcohol because they simply do not adequately take into account the differences in physiology between males and females; i.e, the "gender factor". Females metabolize alcohol differently [more slowly] than males.

DUI breath testing devices are biased against females because they are calibrated allegedly to a male's physiological make-up and not a female's physiological make-up. Further, so-called standardized field sobriety tests are not designed for females and, consequently, are more difficult for females to perform. This causes females to appear more intoxicated than men simply because females are not suitable candidates for the current field sobriety testing done by law enforcement agencies in Maryland and across the country.
