How Well Are Cops Trained To Determine If You Are Under The Influence?
You may think that you can pass that field sobriety test if you've had a few. Think again!
In Pennsylvania, for example, there is a program that civilians can volunteer for. What do they volunteer to do? They volunteer to get a bit drunk! Why? So that officers can observe their behavior during field sobriety tests.
The officers were able to closely observe how test subjects' eyes moved and how their walking and turning was every so slightly impaired after becoming legally intoxicated.
Of course, it is always important to never operate a vehicle under the influence of any substance. However, if you have been arrested or charged with DUI and you live in Essex, Burlington, South Burlington, Winooski, Colchester, Williston or anywhere in the State of Vermont, call the Law Office of C Jordan Handy to discuss your case.
