DUI or DUAC Arrest and Field Sobriety Tests

There are many different charges that you could face for a DUI or DUAC arrest. The process begins when you are pulled over by a police officer; if they suspect you of driving under the influence then they will ask you to perform some field sobriety tests such as the walk and turn, the one-leg stand, or the HGN (horizontal gaze nystagmus). It is important for you to know that these are not pass-or-fail tests; they are designed for the sole purpose of gathering enough evidence to warrant an arrest. It is important to know that you are not required to take the test , and you cannot be penalized additionally for refusing the test.

The police officer may in fact arrest you on suspicion of DUI if you do refuse; therefore refusing the field sobriety test may or may not be in your best interest. Generally, police officers will make an arrest if they have probable cause, and therefore they would not need the field sobriety test in order to gather evidence. It is important that you seek skilled representation on your side as soon as possible if you are arrested and charged with the crime of DUI.
