Do not take field sobriety tests and do not admit anything about the use of alcohol/drugs or anything else and do not agree or consent to a search of your vehicle. You have to score better than 98% on the walk and turn and one-leg stand tests just to pass it. Field sobriety tests are subjectively graded. Plus the adrenaline flow alone can make you fail those evaluations. Most people have orthopedic problems or take medications that can affect those readings. They didn’t use any optional language but it’s optional. If the officer says I need you to get out and do some field evaluations, this is optional. You can simply remain silent or say, “Well if I’m going to be questioned in a manner that could incriminate me I’d like to call an attorney.” They are not going to let you call an attorney. The point of it is, is that you do not have to answer questions like that. The officer says, “I smell alcohol, when did you have your last drink?” That is suggesting that he knows you’ve been drinking when really you may not.
Please understand that the officer has a microphone on his or her shirt and is recording this back to a police car in most situations.
