Under cross-examination by Phoenix attorney, Clifford Girard, Shriki admitted tests performed on the IR5000 could be erased before being stored in the IR5000's memory and before being recorded in ADAMS, the government’s data storage and retrieval system.

Shriki testified that all PCL criminalists know how to delete the IR5000 calibration records.

The PCL criminalist testified machine operators can prevent tests from being recorded by flipping a switch built into the IR5000. He claimed the switch (switch 11) was never intended to prevent documenting tests performed on the machine.

A few questions later, Shriki was asked, ". . . is it possible to prevent an [sic] calibration check from going into memory or is it possible to remove it from memory after this calibration test?" First, Shriki replied, "there certainly could be a way," and when asked, "how?" he answered, "That I don’t know." He then added, "It’s certainly possible," and again, when asked, "how?" he testified, "I don’t know . . . ."

In an earlier interview, however, Shriki was asked, "In other words, there is a series of switches on the machine to allow a PCL employee to perform an unrecorded and undocumented cal check?" Shriki answered, "yes." After being confronted with the transcript, Shriki was asked by Girard, "Do you recall that?" Shriki answered, "Yes. And that’s correct." See attached transcripts.
