Hey everybody, watch this video. This attorney and I vehemently disagree about this advice. Y'all want to watch the comment section blow up? Watch this. There are times when you need to take field test. I know some of you already typing. But hell, I ain't mad at you. I'm typing. You just don't know any better. See, I've handled a lot of DWI. In fact, I've had over 1,000 not guilties. I've trained thousands of police officers, thousands of defense [music] attorneys, and even wrote a book about it. But there are times when you need to take field sobriety. Now, there are times when you don't [music] need to take it. But when would you take it? Well, if an officer pulls you over and suspects that you're drunk because you had some bad driving and then an odor of alcohol, then you're going to have to convince that officer not to arrest you. Okay, let's stop right there. Raise your hand if you out there think that you're going to be able to convince this police officer not to arrest you by doing field sobriety test. Come on, raise your hand. Anybody out there? No. John Collins is a great attorney. He's a great I watch his channel all the time. I know he knows what he's talking about and I just disagree on this issue. I think that is really, really poor advice to give somebody who may be on the fence about whether or not to take these field sobriety tests. There is no time, full stop, that you should ever, ever take the field sobriety test. I'm going to have a different opinion on the blood test or the breath test. That's not a field sobriety test. The field sobriety test is the follow the pin with your eyes, please, sir, or [snorts] could you stand on one foot and count to 30? And I personally believe that there's no good that comes from you taking these tests. There's too much room for error when you're taking these field sobriety tests that you can't control. and it's more than likely going to result in an incident where I look at it and go, "I wish he hadn't taken that test." I'd have a lot better chance of convincing a judge or jury that you're not impaired if you don't take these tests. There is nothing good that comes from you taking these tests on the roadside. Nothing ever. There is a time to convince somebody that you're not impaired, and that time is in court, in front of a judge or in front of a jury. It's not on the roadside. You're never going to convince a police officer who's already made up in his mind that he's going to arrest you. I hear police officers typing, "I've actually given people these tests and release them after they performed them." Well, that might be true, but I bet you can count on one hand the number of times you've done that in your whole career. Most of the time when somebody takes these tests, you're checking little boxes and you're showing indicators of impairment and you're building a case for the DA to show to a judge or jury so that you can convict this person of DUI. I'll bet you've never given these tests and let them get back in a car and drive. If you smell alcohol on this person and you give them tests and they nail them and and they don't show indicators of impairment and you put them back in that car, you're liable if they drive down the road and they really were drunk. So, you're never going to let them drive again. Be honest. Don't lie.
