Why Courts Rely on BACtrack View for Evidence of Sobriety
Download Admissibility Report
BACtrack Viewโฆ constitutes a scientifically reliable and legally admissible alcohol monitoring platform that meets the evidentiary requirements of both the Frye and Daubert standards.
โ Justice Speakers Institute Report, 2025
Theย 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 โ since, as JSI notes,ย โcourts are increasingly seeking monitoring tools that are reliable, flexible, and capable of being scheduled randomly online.โ
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:ย JSI emphasized that unpredictable testingย โmakes it more difficult for participants to plan alcohol use around anticipated testing times.โ
- Optional GPS data with every test:ย Allows monitors to confirm a test was taken in the right place, reducing disputes and improving trust in results.
- Lower burden and cost:ย JSI noted that BACtrack Viewย โsignificantly reduces logistical burdens for courts, parents, and individuals under supervisionโย โ making it more affordable and accessible.
- Scientifically validated accuracy:ย Police-grade fuel cell technology, backed by peer-reviewed studies and court rulings, ensures reliable evidence.
- Ongoing reliability at no extra cost:ย The Free Breathalyzer Replacement Program guarantees accuracy year after year.
From a Family Law Attorney
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BACtrack View to future clients or my fellow attorneys who need to prove or monitor sobriety.
“As a family law attorney, I have used BACtrack View both for proving that my own client was suitable for custody as well as monitoring an opposing party who was struggling to remain sober. BACtrack View is a great program because it keeps people accountable, provides peace of mind to a parent that is worried about the safety of their child, and provides a mechanism for parents and the court to know if further action is needed. It's also more affordable and easier to use than other programs I have seen.”
