Its a pretty unremarkable video. Boater was pulled for unsafe operation because a girl was dancing on the bow.
The captain did not have current safety or registration. Cop suggests he was BUI. The sobriety test starts around the 11 min mark. Anyone ever see something like this?  Police Didn't Like Her Dancing |

Tests/instructions start at 8:00...
Good god that some silly and long tests to do all in one shot. I am very much against DUI but jesus that some dumb steps. It reminds me of standing in line at a theme park trying to do different patty cake moves with my daughters that take me 10+ ties to get it all down. |

There is a separate set of FST’s developed for boating specifically because of equilibrium etc after being on a boat for any period of time. One leg stands and walk and turn and the ones you are used to seeing on traffic stops are part of the ashore battery of tests that cannot be completed until after a certain time has elapsed once you are ashore. That is why the palm pat, finger count, etc were developed. I got out of the game shortly after the test in the video was developed and the consensus amongst all of the Boarding Officers I worked with were that it was retarded.

The issue I have is his delivery of instructions. He is rapid fire when instructing and the test seems overly dramatic as it is. My big issue is that he has to read it from a manual. While this may or may not be required for that test or ensures that the instructions are verbatim, it also gives the impression it requires a god damn manual. An attorney could reasonably argue the test instructions are confusing to a reasonable person and possibly win a mind or two on a jury. I don't get why this was chosen or why the instructions want 4 different sequences memorized. It leaves a lot of holes just by the presentation. We didn't do fsts with anything but maybe a flashlight wedge in our armpit and our 007 in one hand just writing a couple things down. |

The old ones we had were much simpler and probably just as reliable—if not more reliable because they were easy to explain and understand. You only had to repeat the instructions to someone that was severely impaired. |

Was the boat really docked? Talk about a blow job move...
ETA I'm not a fish cop, but regular cop. I've never seen field sobriety tests like that, and recognize that they would obviously need to differ from those on land. However, to have a test that requires 4 separate steps that are not demonstrated in sequence by the officer? It would seem to me that it would be easily thrown out by a defense attorney? Can a fish cop come in and speak to this test, because it kinda looks like bull crap to me lol. The attitude on that cop was absurd lol. You're rolling up on people hanging out in a docked boat. |

The officer will likely use whatever other PC is available to make the arrest and then will obviously not have the field sobriety tests to use against you in court. |

There is a laundry list of questions asked about injuries, defects, medical conditions, etc before the tests even begin to rule out any potential issues with certain tests. If you have injuries or disabilities that preclude you from completing them, then whatever tests you are able to complete are used. |
