Should I Arrest? 7-3 DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing 7-3 A. Overview: Tasks and Decision Like Phases One and Two, DWI Detection Phase Three, Pre-arrest Screening has two major evidence gathering tasks and one major decision. Phase Three: Pre-Arrest Screening Your first task in Phase Three is to administer three scientifically validated Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. If your agency uses preliminary breath tests (PBTs), your second task would be to administer (or arrange for) a PBT to confirm the chemical basis of the subject's impairment. Based on these tests and on all other evidence from Phase One and Two, you must decide whether there is sufficient probable cause to arrest the subject for DWI. The entire detection process culminates in the arrest/no arrest decision.

  • Interview/Questioning Techniques
    Session 6-Phase Two: Personal Contact Interview/Questioning Techniques • Asking for two things simultaneously • Asking interrupting or distracting questions • Asking unusual questions DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing 6-13 D. Interview/Questioning Techniques There are a number of techniques you can use to assess impairment while the driver is still behind the wheel. Most of these techniques apply the concept of divided attention. They require the driver to concentrate on two or more things at the same time. They include both questioning techniques and psychophysical (mind/body) tasks. These techniques are not as reliable as the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests but they can still be useful for obtaining evidence of impairment. THESE TECHNIQUES DO NOT REPLACE THE SFSTs. Questioning Techniques The questions you ask and the way in which you ask them can constitute simple divided attention tasks. Three techniques are particularly pertinent: • Asking for two things simultaneously • Asking interrupting or distracting questions • Asking unusual questions. An example of the first technique, asking for two things simultaneously, is requesting the driver to produce both the driver's license and the vehicle registration. Possible evidence of impairment may be observed as the driver responds to this dual request. Be alert for the driver who: Revised: DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Session 6 10/2015 Phase Two: Personal Contact Page 12 of 21 Session 6-Phase Two: Personal Contact Session 6-Phase Two: Personal

  • Standardized Field Sobriety Testing
    This Page Left Intentionally Blank Instructor Guide DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety (SFST) Testing Sobriety Refresher October 2015 Save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle-related crashes This Page Left Intentionally Blank Preface The Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) training curriculum collectively prepares police officers and other qualified persons to conduct the SFST’s for use in DWI investigations. This training, developed under the auspices and direction of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), has experienced remarkable success since its inception in the early 1980s. As in any educational training program, an instruction manual or guide is considered a “living document” that is subject to updates and changes based on advances in technology and science. A thorough review is made of information by the IACP Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) of the Highway Safety Committee of the IACP with contributions from many sources in health care science, toxicology, jurisprudence, and law enforcement. Based on this information, any appropriate revisions and modifications in background theory, facts, examination and decision making methods are made to improve the quality of the instruction as well as the standardization of guidelines for the implementation of the SFST curriculum. The reorganized manuals are then prepared and disseminated, both domestically and internationally, to the states. Changes will normally take effect 90 days after approval by the TAP, unless otherwise specified or when so designated. The procedures outlined in this manual describe how the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) are to be administered under ideal conditions. We recognize that the SFST’s will not always be administered under ideal conditions in the field, because such conditions do not always exist.

  • Coercion in Field Sobriety and Breath Testing Cases in Light of Sponar and Shaw
    COERCION IN FIELD SOBRIETY AND BREATH TESTING CASES IN LIGHT OF SPONAR AND SHAW By Ronnie M. Cole, Esquire and Joshua T. Hawkins, Esquire Picture this…your client is on the roadside being asked to take field sobriety tests, or is in a breath test room where he/she is being asked to submit to a DataMaster test. The client wants to refuse but is intimidated, coerced, tricked or misled into complying. What is the remedy? Can the evidence be suppressed? In Sponar v. South Carolina Department of Public Safety , 361 S.C. 35, 603 S.E.2d 412, Ct. App. (2004), the South Carolina Court of Appeals was confronted with that exact issue. Sponar was arrested and charged with DUI and refused a DataMaster test. During the observation period Sponar asked whether he would still go to jail if he took the test, and the officer replied that it did not matter whether he took the test, because he would be going to jail either way. In Town of Mount Pleasant v. Shaw , 315 S.C. 111, 432 S.E.2d 450 (1993), the Supreme Court adopted the following rule: [I]f the arrested person is reasonably informed of his rights, duties and obligations under our implied consent law and he is neither tricked nor misled into thinking he has no right to refuse the test to determine the alcohol content in his blood, urine or breath, the test will generally be held admissible. The court found the officer’s statement to Sponar that he would be going to jail regardless of his decision on whether to submit to the breath test did not inadequately advise Sponar pursuant to South Carolina’s implied consent statute.
