That’s not how field sobriety tests work, because they don’t actually work at all, they’re just a way to give cops a justification for their suspicions without conducting an actually functional test.
So if someone is clearly high and they blow a 0 on a breathalyzer should cops just let them go? Run a blood sample on the side of the road? Or should they just arrest them based on nothing more than “I believe they were impaired.” At least a field sobriety test tries to provide an objective standard.
