A few methods of DUI detection are used when a police officer suspects someone of driving under the influence. At the time of the traffic stop, the officer will usually try to perform a preliminary breathalyzer test and field sobriety testing, such as walking on a line, standing on one foot and following a series of other directions. If you are stopped for suspicion of DUI, the best thing you can do is refuse to submit to a preliminary breathalyzer test and field sobriety testing and call a drunk driving attorney with Cochran, Cochran and Chhabra.
The next step, if drugs, alcohol or a combination of the two substances are suspected is to get the person to submit to alcohol or drug concentration testing. This involves a blood test. Our drunk driving defense attorneys advise our clients to refuse all testing until they have had the chance to meet with their drink driving attorney and get advice based on the individual circumstances.
One reason to refuse testing and insist on a consultation with your drunk driving lawyer is the fact that the accuracy not perfect. Field sobriety testing is subjective and many factors other than drugs or alcohol can affect the outcome. Our drunk driving defense attorneys have been trained and certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the certification required for police officers
