Most DUI arrests follow a predictable pattern. The police officer makes the stop or comes into contact with the suspect, questions are asked, physical observations are made, field sobriety tests are given, and then an arrest is made or the person is allowed to drive away. This section explains in great detail what a DUI officer is looking for in the various phases leading up to arrest. |
