DUI Attorney Edward Duke - Field Sobriety Tests

If a police officer suspects you are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and pulls you over, he or she may decide to administer a Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST). Under Michigan law you have the right to refuse the SFST, which can be difficult to pass even for some nondrinking drivers. Also, depending on the police officers level of training, the test results may be skewed. There is no penalty for refusing to take these roadside tests. By refusing the SFST, you are denying the prosecution possible evidence if you subsequently are charged.
