The problem with field sobriety tests are they are very subjective. It
is really just what the cop says it is and there is absolutely no

Just look where field sobriety tests are taken, along side the road, on
uneven pavement, cars flying by, and generally in the dark. The setup is
not conducive to anything but failure. I don't know if his run is still
intact, but there was a lawyer in Florida, who had never lost a DUI case,
mostly by blowing holes in the field sobriety tests. Still, win or lose
in court, it still costs $$$.
