Challenges of Field Sobriety Test Inaccuracies: Understanding the Flaws

Table of Contents [Show]

When you are stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI), one of the first procedures law enforcement may carry out is a series of field sobriety tests. These tests are designed to assess one's physical and cognitive abilities, thereby providing an indicator of impairment. However, it is crucial to be aware that these tests are not infallible. Field sobriety test inaccuracies can significantly influence DUI cases, leading to potential injustice for those accused.

%COMNAME% is dedicated to informing the public about these potential inaccuracies and fostering an understanding of the complexities involved in DUI accusations. Field sobriety tests should be scrutinized for their reliability and accuracy, and our team is here to connect you with specialized attorneys who can contest their findings effectively.

The Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST) suite typically consists of three tests: the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), the Walk-and-Turn, and the One-Leg Stand. While these tests are widely used, they are not unbiased measures of impairment. Factors such as nervousness, medical conditions, and even footwear can impact results, calling into question the fairness of these assessments.

Should you find yourself needing to challenge the results of an SFST, do not hesitate to contact us. Our network of experienced attorneys understands the nuances that often complicate these tests.

Beyond the SFST, officers may employ additional non-standardized tests that lack empirical backing. These may include reciting the alphabet or finger-to-nose coordination tests. The subjectivity of these tests means results can be interpreted inconsistently, deepening the concern over their reliability in court proceedings.

At %COMNAME%, we are thorough in our approach, ensuring our clients recognize the weaknesses in these tests and are prepared to present robust defense strategies in court.

Besides the lack of standardization, several external factors can contribute to false positives in field sobriety tests. These include, but are not limited to, lighting conditions, weather, and uneven terrain. To challenge such outcomes, meticulous attention to detail is necessary - an area where our attorneys excel.

Our team will investigate the circumstances surrounding your field sobriety test to uncover any discrepancies or conditions that may have skewed the results.

Video recordings of field sobriety tests can be pivotal when disputing test reliability. Body cameras and dashcam footage provide an objective viewpoint that may not align with an officer's account. With our expertise, such evidence can play an instrumental role in your defense.

If there is video evidence available in your case, our qualified attorneys will scrutinize it meticulously. Such diligence can prove invaluable to your case, potentially highlighting test inaccuracies or procedural errors.
