Columbia Field Sobriety Test Attorney
A standard field sobriety test can be influenced by many factors and conditions. For instance, an individual asked to walk a straight line or heel-to-toe may be wearing heels or have a pre-existing injury that affects his or her walking performance. In other instances, the field sobriety test may be performed in bad weather or other difficult decisions that influence the test result.
Law enforcement will often use this against the individual, even though it does not prove intoxication. We will fight these assumptions. In South Carolina, the legislature requires incident site video tapes. We review the law enforcement video tapes thoroughly, carefully watching the scene play out. You have rights in this situation, and we will fight to ensure that they are protected.
