How can an officer tell if a person is faking a seizure?
Distinguishing between a seizure and other impaired behavior is tough enough; trying to distinguish between real and fake seizures in the field is beyond reasonable expectations of an officer. It is better to treat an episode of falling and shaking followed by confusion, or an episode of confusion that start abruptly and slowly resolves itself as a real seizure than to risk making a mistake in the other direction.
