Oakland County probation violation lawyer Paul Tafelski releases a new article (https://www.michigandefenselaw.com/etg-test-probation.html) that explains what an EtG Test is and how it is related to probation. The lawyer mentions that OWI offenders are required to refrain from drinking alcohol throughout the term of their probation.
“In order to ensure that they don’t consume any alcohol, the state can conduct both scheduled and surprise tests. One such test is the EtG test, short for ethyl glucuronide test,” the Oakland County probation violation lawyer says.
According to the lawyer, it can be considered a probation violation if an EtG test shows that the probationer consumed alcohol. Violation of probation could result in additional penalties beyond the ones the defendant currently faces. This can lead to imprisonment.
Attorney Paul Tafelski says that the U.S. Substance abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has declared that the EtG test is unreliable. To ensure that their rights are protected, anyone accused of violating parole because EtG tests were used should consult a Michigan OWI attorney if they are accused of violating their parole.
Attorney Tafelski explains that the EtG test, which is used to check if there has been any alcohol consumption in the body within the past 80 hours, can be found in this article. It is also known as a "biomarker" test. Biomarker tests are physiological indicators that the individual has been drinking alcohol.
The OWI attorney explains that the EtG test can detect increasing levels of ethyl glucuronide in the urine. Employers use the test to screen employees. The test is also used by law enforcement when ensuring that people refrain from drinking alcohol.
Lastly, attorney Tafelski emphasizes the importance of having a skilled OWI lawyer when someone is being accused of violating their probation. An experienced OWI lawyer may be able to help the defendant understand where they stand in the case and what they should do next in order to arrive at a more favorable outcome.
