Field sobriety tests are purported to be an objective determination as to whether the DUI suspect was driving under the influence; however, they were performed on the side of the road under
abnormal conditions. Police and prosecutors use them to collect evidence
against you. They are very difficult to pass, yet police officers in Orange County, California, and the entire country for that matter, still use field tests to determine whether a person was impaired or driving with a blood alcohol level of a 0.08% or more.
Some Orange County Agencies still use tests that were rejected
after exhaustive studies under expensive federal grants. These include:
THE ALPHABET TEST;
THE FINGER COUNT TEST;
COUNTING BACKWARDS;
TOUCHING FINGER TO NOSE TEST;
MODIFIED BALANCE TEST OR ROMBERG TEST
Proper cross examination of the arresting officer can demonstrate that these
exercises do not predict impairment for the purposes of driving a motor vehicle. The DUI lawyers of the Law Office of Barry T.
