Minimizing / neutralizing operation through the Stopping Sequence

Minimizing / neutralizing observations through the ambiguity / exaggeration of the ubiquitous observations

Neutralize / blow away field tests through the amount of “normal” coordination present

Neutralize / confuse blood or breath tests through the amount of “normal” coordination present

• Condition of the roadway and the breakdown lane

• Walking up to cruiser

• Not slumped

• Not leaning

• Head straight up

• Brake lights off (vehicle in park)

Initial Contact

• No hand on car… not unsteady

• The most natural thing we do is protect ourselves

• If the client was unsteady to any obvious degree they would have used either the vehicle or the officer for support

• As you are standing at the back of the car, just prior to the start of the FST’s, did you believe Mr. Jones was under the influence?

• If the answer is no, you have limited the case to an evaluation of the field sobriety tests.

• Officer, you would agree with me that standing on one leg and walking heel is not normal behavior?

• You don’t see people walking heel to toe between the Gap and the Limited at the mall?

• You haven’t seen anyone standing on one leg waiting for a bus, have you?

• Did you give him a practice run?
