Fulton County Field Sobriety Test Attorney

THE PROBLEMS WITH FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS

There are two types of tests used in DUI cases. There are important differences between them. Blood & breath tests, also referred to as chemical tests, are administered at the police station or in a hospital. As a licensed driver in the state of Georgia, you are required to take one or both of these tests. Field sobriety tests are administered on the side of the road when you are suspected of being impaired and stopped by police.

You are not obligated to take these tests and may respectfully decline. These tests are notoriously arbitrary, meaning the same results may be interpreted differently by two different police officers. They are often administered incorrectly. Attorney Richard S.
