Columbia DWI Lawyers
- Wyse Law Firm:
You don’t have to submit to DWI Field Sobriety Tests; (Refusal to take
Breath, Blood, Saliva or Urine test results in a 1 year suspension of
license, unless reversed) Field sobriety tests (one leg balance, walk
and turn, eyes following finger/light, alphabet, counting, etc.) are
very subjective and are rarely performed in accordance with federal
standards. You may tell the Officer that you'd like to have your lawyer
present before answering any questions or taking any tests and then try
and make contact with a lawyer. If asked to take a blood, breath,
saliva or urine test and you are unable after a reasonable period of
time (20 Minutes) to contact an attorney, you will have to make a
decision whether to take this type of test or it will be considered a
refusal.
- Robert Murray: There are
various methods in which an eyewitness may identify a defendant. Both
in-court and out-of-court identifications may be permitted during a
criminal trial.
