Ithaca DWI Lawyer: What is the DWI Defense of Extrapolation?

From Dreamstime, Last Call for Alcohol

With every DWI case that has a blood or breath test, aka THE chemical test there will be a gap of time between police contact and the test. If there is an accident it takes time for the police to arrive at the scene and assess it. If there is a stop of a car for a traffic violation there is a process and procedure that is followed. All the police questions and the field sobriety testing, and the drive back to the station or trooper's barracks take TIME.

Time can always be your friend or your enemy. This is true in any case involving forensic police testing of a DWI or DWAI drugs body sample of breath or blood or urine. The clock is always ticking. Minutes and hours that drag by can affect your body's processing of toxins. And shots and chugging take so little time. As my daughter loves to tell me of all the new college drinking games like flip cup and circle of fire. So what's this thing called "Extrapolation" and how does it relate to being a DWI defense?
