Remember, field sobriety tests are conducted to assist the police officer in developing a case and gathering evidence against you. You have the right to politely refuse to participate in any field sobriety testing. Should you decide to participate in field sobriety testing, it is important to obtain an attorney who can carefully examine field sobriety test evidence. In some instances, police officers do not administer the test in full compliance with NHTSA guidelines by using improper scoring criteria, incorrectly instructing the driver on how to perform the test, or not using the standard methodology in performing the tests. These details are especially important at the time of trial so that a jury understands the weaknesses of field sobriety testing.
