Overview

• The BCA ordered agencies to verify gas‑cylinder data before using DataMaster machines, which required a five‑minute check and were not fully taken offline.
• The tally of potentially affected tests rose from 146 on Friday to 276 on Monday, and each case is being reviewed individually.
• DWI enforcement continued over the weekend with 82 people charged since the verification order, using preliminary tools that are not admissible in court.
• Defense attorney Chuck Ramsay argues the scope is wider than the BCA’s count and says at least seven counties have been affected.
• Minnesota employs about 220 DataMaster units with roughly 4,500 trained users, and prosecutors are reassessing cases as some dismissals are reported.
