If you’re charged with DUI or OVWI in Indiana, understanding Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) is critical for building a defense. These roadside tests, designed to detect signs of impairment, include the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, Walk-and-Turn, and One-Leg Stand tests.
While used widely by law enforcement, SFSTs have limitations and can be affected by factors like anxiety, medical conditions, or environmental conditions. At the Marc Lopez Law Firm, we challenge SFST results by examining procedural errors, officer training, and external factors to protect your rights and build a strong defense.
