While OUI defense attorneys are seeking more time to prepare arguments that the Draeger Alcotest 9510 device is unreliable and that the Office of Alcohol Testing is a serial violator of discovery orders, nine district attorneys have banded together in an effort to expedite the lifting of a ban on the use of breath tests .
