Understanding Field Sobriety Test Inaccuracies: Common Mistakes

Imagine you've been pulled over after a wonderful evening out. The flashing lights in your rearview mirror bring a sudden surge of anxiety. You've only had one drink, but the officer suspects otherwise and decides to perform a field sobriety test. This test could be the pivotal moment that determines your innocence or guilt. Here's the thing, though: these tests can be as unreliable as a two-dollar umbrella in a hurricane. At Glazing Saddles Two LTD, we're committed to ensuring that these inaccuracies don't tip the scales of justice against you.

There's a common misconception that field sobriety tests are infallible. Spoiler alert: they're not. Factors like nervousness, medical conditions, and even the type of footwear can affect your performance. Not to mention, the testing conditions are rarely ideal-think buzzing traffic inches away and glaring headlights. Our job is to inform you about the pitfalls of these tests and connect you with seasoned attorneys who can highlight their flaws in court.

If you find yourself in a jam due to a field sobriety test, don't hesitate to reach out. Our team is standing by and ready to help you navigate through this stormy patch. Get in touch with us at (512) 473-2783, and let us anchor your case back to solid ground.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration endorses three standardized field sobriety tests: the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test, the Walk-and-Turn, and the One-Leg Stand. While they might sound official, they rely heavily on the subjective observation of the officer. Here's a reality check: human observation isn't immune to error. Our experienced attorneys can dissect these subjective observations and expose their unreliability in your defense.

Moreover, environmental factors play a significant role. Uneven pavement, distracting surroundings, or even poor lighting can mean the difference between a pass and a fail. When your freedom is on the line, you need an attorney who understands the complexities of these tests and knows how to use them in your favor.

It's uncomfortable to consider, but bias can skew the outcome of a field sobriety test. The truth is, an officer's preconceived notions could impact their judgment. Maybe they assume any late-night driver is intoxicated or maybe they're just having a bad day. Either way, you want a lawyer who will shine a light on any potential bias that could affect the test's outcome.

At Glazing Saddles Two LTD, our attorneys are trained to question every angle of the arrest, including possible bias. You deserve a fair shake, and we're here to ensure you get it.

Now, let's talk about you, the test-taker. Factors like age, weight, medical conditions, or disabilities can unfairly tip the scale against you. A sober person with a physical impairment can easily be misjudged as intoxicated when attempting to balance on one foot. This is not just about alcohol-it's about justice. Our attorneys are ready to bring these critical factors to light.

Don't let a simple balance issue or a nervous twitch define your future. If you have concerns about how your own physicality may have affected your field sobriety test results, we're here to listen and act. Dial (512) 473-2783 to begin setting your record straight.
