In January, 2020, the Michigan State Police Breath Alcohol Program, responsible for overseeing the "breathalyzer" program in Michigan was rocked by scandal. At first, MSP fired the company servicing the machines. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. Soon allegations of fraud and misrepresentation were levied against technicians who worked side by side with the MSP in servicing and maintaining the machines. Soon after Rockind Law began a search for evidence of the real story - the truth behind the scandal. We obtained thousands of pages of reports, documents, etc. Some were obtained under a protective order. Others obtained through FOIA. Despite the fraud, prosecutors pushed forward trying to "get around" the issues of fraud and misrepresentation. Key to the prosecution's efforts to salvage the cases and the breath test program was a figure, a toxicologist who was the technical leader of the program. They planned on him being their savior.
