Yep - this is like field sobriety testing, in my mind. Everyone will display some level of nervousness and inability to perform all the tests, and the officer thus has a baseline level of "cause". They can therefore do all kinds of tests or hold you until you do those tests. B/c "He failed his FST"
Same with poly. If they don't like something, they can just say "He failed his poly"
- johnflan 2y agoI don’t get how “field sobriety testing” in the sense of observing someone perform some coordinated actions is still a thing. In Ireland if stopped by a member of the police (Gardai) and they have suspicion they can require you to provide a breath or saliva sample. If you pass you are free to go, if you fail or refuse you are escorted to a police station and provide a blood sample or urine sample (I think this depends on if suspected of alcohol or drug offences) refusal to provide the sample is an offence
