Can a person be arrested for refusing to take the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests?
Absolutely not! The majority of people out there are not aware that they have the right to refuse the field sobriety tests. The standardized field sobriety tests are optional tests and are not required by law. These tests were designed to be failed, so why set yourself up for failure? When the officer asks you to perform the field sobriety tests, all you need to do is politely decline the request.
