Lawyer Talk: Off the Record


035 – DUI 360–#8–Hop Scotch on One Leg

June 20, 2018

Hey Kids! More fun with SFSTs! Are you down with the OLS? Listen as 'Officer Jeff' tests Jared by the book - as in, the actual manual that law enforcement uses when they pull someone over in a traffic stop. Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, or SFSTs, can be challenging for most of us on a good day.  We've previously talked Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (the pen test) and Walking the Line. In this episode we drop some knowledge about the OLS, or the One Leg Stand - the third horse of the SFST apocalypse.

Steve, Jeff and Jared also talk Dirtbag Mondays, flossing, Steve Martin and "The Man with Two Brains", riding on your rims, swaying, raising arms for balance, the "acceleration clause" and other cool dance moves, and the Smartie defense. And we ask the question, is the goal to be accurate, or to just "secure a conviction?"   You might be surprised by what the NHTSA manual actually says..

Have your own experience with a Field Sobriety Test? Tell us about it - we love stories! Have questions or comments? Send them to podcast@ohiolegaldefense.com. We will keep your identity private unless you tell us otherwise, but would love to share your stories - and answer your questions - in upcoming episodes!
