Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By swolliepop: would be great for fish cops to have to perform these tests sober vs inebriated and be judged on their performance. there’s NO WAY i (or anyone) could do any of those perfectly, despite being sober. designed to make you fail. They have to pass a proficiency test in training. Also a smart defense attorney would request they perform the tests when they’re testifying in court as well as pick apart their instructions to their client when they were at the scene |

Your bad side is actually more correct at least according to our DMV. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SuperHeavy: If the test is so easy, and the cops are trained on it and done it so often, why does he have to read it off of paper? Playing the Simon says game would basically be the same. Stop with the games, have them blow there for a preliminary voluntarily or at the station. If your sure enough you're correct, get the blood test. So everyone will get the same exact instructions. |

I went from a ghetto cop with backup 2 minutes or less away to a game warden with no real dispatcher and no radio contact and no cell phones. You’d be surprised how well you will treat people in that situation. Plus it’s amazing how different people act when they’re out enjoying nature vs at home drunk beating their wives. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By greenranger: They have to pass a proficiency test in training. Also a smart defense attorney would request they perform the tests when they’re testifying in court as well as pick apart their instructions to their client when they were at the scene Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By greenranger: Originally Posted By swolliepop: would be great for fish cops to have to perform these tests sober vs inebriated and be judged on their performance. there’s NO WAY i (or anyone) could do any of those perfectly, despite being sober. designed to make you fail. They have to pass a proficiency test in training. Also a smart defense attorney would request they perform the tests when they’re testifying in court as well as pick apart their instructions to their client when they were at the scene I can't speak for that officer, but in NY I was only instructed on, and had to demonstrate proficiency in, one leg stand, walk the line, and HGN. My suspicion is that wasn't a state sanctioned SFST. |
