Are My Field Sobriety Test Results Invalid If They Were Conducted On A Hill?

An officer must explain and conduct field sobriety tests with strict compliance as to the location of the field sobriety tests, the instructions given and the performance evaluation. For field sobriety tests to be valid and admissible there are certain requirements that an officer must follow.

For example, if the area where the field sobriety tests were administered was not on a level surface, the results may not accurately measure a suspect’s performance. An experienced DUI lawyer understands how to effectively challenge the circumstances surrounding an officer’s DUI investigation.
