People v. Witt

In People v. Witt, 258 Ill. App. 3d 124, 125, 630 N.E.2d 156, 157, 196 Ill. Dec. 459 (1994), the appellate court reversed the trial court's grant of the defendant's motion to suppress the results of his breath test. The court ruled that wearing false teeth during the breath test did not violate a previous version of the breath-test regulation, which required that the suspect: "'must not have ingested alcohol, food, drink, regurgitated, vomited, or smoked'" during the 20-minute observation period (77 Ill. Adm. Code 510.60(a), at 3668 (1991)). Witt, 258 Ill. App. 3d at 126-27, 630 N.E.2d at 158 ("We find no authority to support the trial court's conclusions that false teeth constitute foreign matter or that false teeth affect breath tests").
