Actually, multiple BAC testing can be useful in court, as it shows how the
body was processing the alcohol over a period of time (i.e., was it still
rising or was it falling shortly after the arrest) and permits an expert to
extropolate backwards to the time of arrest to project the actual level at
that time. Sometimes it works to your advantage, other times, to the
defendant's. Either advantage is good if we want the truth rather than a
"conviction at all costs."
