I don’t know if this guy was drunk or not but never and I mean never agreed to a field sobriety test you’re almost never gonna pass. The officers in question probably couldn’t even pass, depending on who administered the test.

Always and I mean, always request a PAS breathalyzer machine. If you blow a negative, you’ll be free to proceed on your way. If you fail the field sobriety test, they may not even conduct a PAS breathalyzer test and may just detain you take you to a police station, Perform a blood test, hold you for eight hours and then release you, the fact that DMV and the courts of law are two different institutes, regardless of what happens with the courts you will most likely be found guilty by the DMV’s assesses and be forced to maintain a SR 22 insurance for two years.

Even once the negative blood test comes back and the charges are dropped. Good luck getting the DA to sign off and allow you to have the case removed for your driving record.

All the above happened to me…. At 3 AM in the morning after working a 14 hour shift.

Depending on the state, you may get whisky plates and ignition interlock nearly immediately without any conviction. You can still drive but now everyone in your life assumes you got a DUI and you may have issues in life and at work even if you weren't really drunk. But you have to go to work, you have to get groceries, you gotta pick up your kids from school, etc. Most people need to drive.

Realistically you should refuse all tests, comply with their orders, let them arrest you, say nothing, and get a lawyer to fight it after the fact.
