Why Courts Rely on BACtrack View for Evidence of Sobriety
Download Admissibility Report
BACtrack View… constitutes a scientifically reliable and legally admissible alcohol monitoring platform that meets the evidentiary requirements of both the Frye and Daubert standards.
– Justice Speakers Institute Report, 2025
The Justice Speakers Institute (JSI), an independent judicial authority, confirmed that BACtrack View not only meets these critical standards, but is also exactly the kind of tool judges look for — since, as JSI notes, “courts are increasingly seeking monitoring tools that are reliable, flexible, and capable of being scheduled randomly online.”
This validation matters for judges and attorneys seeking courtroom-ready tools that reduce conflict, lower costs, and provide stronger accountability than other alcohol testing methods.
Highlights from the report:
- Randomized + on-demand testing: JSI emphasized that unpredictable testing “makes it more difficult for participants to plan alcohol use around anticipated testing times.”
- Optional GPS data with every test: Allows monitors to confirm a test was taken in the right place, reducing disputes and improving trust in results.
- Lower burden and cost: JSI noted that BACtrack View “significantly reduces logistical burdens for courts, parents, and individuals under supervision” — making it more affordable and accessible.
- Scientifically validated accuracy: Police-grade fuel cell technology, backed by peer-reviewed studies and court rulings, ensures reliable evidence.
- Ongoing reliability at no extra cost: The Free Breathalyzer Replacement Program guarantees accuracy year after year.
