Yes! Police officers have many tools that they use to help them determine whether a person is intoxicated for DWI purposes. Many of these tools are the subject of great debate as to whether or not they are accurate and/or reliable indicators of intoxication. The favorite roadside tools of the officer are the preliminary alcohol screen (PAS) device and standardized field sobriety tests (SFSTs).
