If Asked to Take a Field Soberness Examination What Do I Do?

Attorney Franks: You have a couple of choices. You're not required to do a field sobriety examination and it isn't the test they are looking at for a rejection. If you decline the big Intoxilyzer equipment at the police headquarters they can file a rejection accusation.

As a DUI Attorney my recommendation is do not do a roadside soberness test because they're made for individuals to fall short and also are really complicated. I had an officer perform one on me as I needed to know what my customers were going through. I did not pass the roadside sobriety test and I was not under the influence. I constantly inform clients do not perform a field sobriety test. It just provides ammo and it almost never ever aids my customers.

Lets say I have consented to it and they ask me to watch an object with my eyes. What are they trying to find?

Attorney Franks: The test they're carrying out is the horizontal gaze nystagmus. They're looking for wiggling of the eyes. If somebody's on depressants there can be an uncontrolled eye activity which doesn't necessarily suggest booze is involved. However booze is a downer.

Some policemen will certainly make use of their finger. That's getting involved in even more drug relevant impairment in contrast to booze. Those policemen need to have specific qualifications for those tests to be valid.

What takes place if I refuse to take the test?

DUI Attorney Franks: Most likely they will certainly have you stand outside either at the front or back of your automobile or by the patrol car. They'll supply you that examination numerous times. Normally an officer wont give it once and after that toss you in the rear of the patrol car. They have to prove problems past a reasonable doubt as well as the field sobriety examination is a tool.

Officers carry about mobile breathalyzers in the rear of their police car. If you reject there are no charges. Nonetheless you'll most likely be taken to jail. At the prison you'll be given the alternative to blow in an Intoxilyzer. Up until you refuse to blow in an Intoxilyzer you will certainly not be charged with a DUI rejection. If you are charged with a DUI rejection after that you would certainly have very good premises to submit an application for breath examination rejection hearing.
