DUI Standardized Field Sobriety Evaluations convict 93% of innocent drivers [PDF]
Description: Medical Doctor Greg Kane, MD reveals the dishonesty behind the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standardized field sobriety evaluation (SFSTs) validation studies. In his article "Crying Wolf: What never before published data proves about Standardized Field Sobriety Testing," Trial Talk, August/September 2008, Dr. Kane analyzes the raw data from NHTSA validation studies and discovers what lawyers practicing in the DWI field have always known -- these tests fail almost everyone. First, for drivers at the 0.04 blood alcohol content (BAC), the raw validation study data indicates that only 7% of field testing results are accurate. This means that DUI field testing convicts 93% of innocent drivers. The raw data suggests for drivers with blood alcohol content under 0.08 DUI police officers guess of blood alcohol content was correct 71% of the time and convicted 29% of innocent drivers. By comparison, for drivers under 0.08 blood alcohol content, field sobriety tests were only 29% correct in their estimation of BAC and standardized field sobriety tests convicted 71% of innocent drivers.
