If Asked to Take a Roadside Sobriety Test What Do I Do?
Attorney Franks: You have a number of alternatives. You're not required to do a field soberness examination and it is not the test they are looking at for a rejection. If you decline the large Intoxilyzer machine at the police station they can file a rejection accusation.
As a Criminal Justice Attorney my suggestion is do not do a roadside sobriety examination because they're made for individuals to fail and also are very complicated. I had an officer execute it on me as I needed to know what my clients were experiencing. I did not pass the roadside sobriety test and I was sober. I constantly inform clients do not carry out a field sobriety examination. It simply provides ammo and also it almost never ever aids my customers.
Lets state I have agreed to it and they ask me to watch a thing with my eyes. What are they trying to find?
Attorney Franks: The examination they're executing is the horizontal gaze nystagmus. They're seeking shaking of the eyes. If somebody's on depressants there can be an uncontrolled eye movement which does not always imply alcohol is involved. However booze is a downer.
Some policemen will use their finger. That's entering into even more medication related disability instead of alcohol. Those officers have to have specific credentials for those tests to be valid.
What occurs if I decline to take the examination?
Attorney Franks: Probably they will have you stand outside either at the front or rear of your car or by the patrol car. They'll offer you that test multiple times. Usually a policeman wont offer once and then toss you in the rear of the patrol car. They need to show problems beyond a practical uncertainty as well as the roadside sobriety examination is a device.
Policemen bring around mobile breathalyzers in the rear of their patrol cars. If you refuse there are no fines. However you'll most likely be taken to prison. At the prison you'll be given the alternative to blow in an Intoxilyzer. Till you refuse to blow in an Intoxilyzer you will not be charged with a DUI rejection. If you are charged with a DUI refusal after that you would certainly have great premises to submit an application for breath examination refusal hearing.
