Minnesota halts 220 DWI breath testers over calibration errors, triggering review of nearly 400 cases.
Errors in Minnesota's DWI breath testing equipment, linked to human setup mistakes, have triggered a statewide review of nearly 400 cases, affecting counties including Blue Earth, Olmsted, Aitkin, and Hennepin.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) found calibration issues in DataMaster DMT devices, prompting a suspension of all 220 units until inspection.
In Blue Earth County alone, 161 tests from October 2024 to May 2025 are under review due to incorrect numeric entries during device setup.
The BCA now oversees calibration, restricting it to its own staff, and is assessing how far back results should be reevaluated.
At least 11 drivers have already regained or are seeking to regain their licenses, with defense attorneys noting the attorney general’s rare support for such outcomes.
