Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the scientific reliability of the Alcotest 7110 MKIII-C breath‑testing device but imposed several conditions for its evidentiary use, including retaining the 2100:1 blood/breath ratio, adopting a reduced minimum breath volume of 1.2 L for women over sixty, rejecting the need for a breath‑temperature sensor and a 6.58 % BAC reduction, and tightening the tolerance range to ±0.005 % BAC or ±5 % of the mean whichever is greater; the Court also required operator testimony and disclosure of foundational documents to satisfy the Confrontation Clause.
