Never Take Field Sobriety Tests
- ada1981 8y agoIsn’t refusal to take these tests interpreted as admission? I’m pretty sure you have to take a breathalyzer. I wish this lawyer would have explained the next steps after saying no.
- 5555624 8y agoHe's focused solely on the Field Sobriety tests -- standing on one leg, horizontal gaze, and walk & turn -- not an actual breathalyzer. The tests are subjective. I'm not sure if refusing a breathalyzer is always an admission. In Virginia, you can refuse one in the field. If they arrest you, the "implied consent" law says you cannot refuse one. If you do, even if you pass, you'll be charged with violating the "implied consent" law.
- ada1981 8y agoI did a bunch of googling and most everything is lead gen articles on lawyers websites. Seems most of them claim to refuse to comply with any tests, including breathalyzers, etc. unless there is a warrant.
