DUI – ALS Hearings in Savannah GA and Chatham County Georgia

Field sobriety testing is vitally important for both the prosecution and defense in a DUI arrest and prosecution. Field sobriety tests are divided-attention tests, which are designed to test for both mental and physical impairment.

Many times, a field sobriety test is either unfairly administered, or is improperly conducted. Field sobriety tests are subject to attack by an experienced attorney if a police officer failed to follow standard procedures when administering the test.

If you are stopped for DUI, the police officer will ask you if to take field sobriety tests to obtain additional evidence as to whether he has probable cause to believe you are operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol.

Field sobriety tests are generally conducted late at night, possibly cold, along a graveled or sloped roadside, cars passing a few feet away with bright headlights and buffeting the suspect with wind waves, the officer’s moving flashlight and his patrol car’s blinding headlights providing the lighting. These conditions make it highly possible for the driver to fail the test. The driver is nervous, possibly frightened and completely unfamiliar with the tests.
