Not necessarily. Field Sobriety Tests are an objective way for police officers to determine whether someone is under the influence or impaired. They are very difficult tests to administer and perform (even sober) and most Alabama police officers do not administer the tests in the manner they were taught. Because of this, the field sobriety tests results in most DUI arrests are not reliable as indicators of intoxication or of impairment.
