Accuracy, Honesty and Rights: Field Sobriety Tests in Florida »
If you’re ever pulled over under suspicion of DUI in Florida, the officer will normally perform a Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) and take a breathalyzer reading.
The SFST is used to estimate the level of intoxication and can provide the cause to arrest. A breathalyzer is used mostly to confirm intoxication.
Sometimes, the breathalyzer may return a negative reading, contradicting the results of a field sobriety test. There have been many cases involving a driver that has been arrested after a SFST and registered a completely legal BAC at the station.
