About This Course
The standardized field sobriety tests are, for most police agencies, the primary means by which they establish probable cause for the arrest of your client; and as evidence of your client's intoxication. These tests, however, can be turned into a two-edged sword and used to your benefit. This CLE course deals with the cross-examination of the officer in regard to these tests. It details approaches that can be used to negate the inference of intoxication and to demonstrate your client's comprehension, coordination and sobriety. While the prosecution focuses on the things that your client does wrong, this CLE shows you how to take the things that your client does right and use them to establish reasonable doubt.
