The Portable Breath Test (PBT)

Portable Breath Test

The officer may ask you to blow into a handheld device. This device is called a portable breath test or PBT. It is designed to give the officer a approximate reading of how much alcohol is in your body. The device can be used as evidence of probable cause to make an arrest, but the number it gives cannot be used against you in court because it has not passed the necessary scientific tests to be considered an accurate alcohol concentration measuring device.
