Cobb County DUI Lawyer
If you are ever pulled over in Cobb County, Georgia, and the officer who stops you suspects you are driving under the influence (DUI), you may be given a series of field sobriety tests in order to determine whether this suspicion is correct. However, because it is left up to the officer – a person who already suspects you are impaired – to determine whether you pass or fail, your test results are more likely to be used against you in criminal court than proof of your innocence. As a result, it is important to discuss the results of your field sobriety tests with an experienced Cobb County DUI lawyer immediately after you are arrested.
Field sobriety tests involve performing one or more seemingly simple exercises, such as balancing on one foot or walking an imaginary line while counting out loud. Unfortunately, the very name “field sobriety tests” is somewhat misleading. Unlike most tests, which have clearly defined right and wrong answers, there is no objective way to grade a field sobriety test—instead, one person’s opinion determines your fate. This means your results are entirely subjective and can vary from one person to another.
The good news is that, due to the subjective nature of field sobriety tests, their results are often much easier to challenge than other types of evidence. In fact, a skilled DUI lawyer can often disprove the prosecution’s claim that you failed the test or showed any signs of impairment while you were performing the exercises.
