What happens if you are stopped and arrested for DWI but all of the tests come back with a BAC of 0%?

My retarded 51 year old brother was stopped for a DWI. His breathalyzer 0%. The cop took him to hospital for $400 blood test; it will also be 0%. With negative test results, will my mom still have to pay the $400? Can court date be dismissed? Any charges to my mom if dismissed?

Based upon what you have written about, there seems to be a good chance that the DUI charges against you should be dismissed by the district attorney's office. I suggest that you consult immediately with a criminal defense attorney to assist you in your matter.
