re: Field sobriety tests aren't designed for you to pass.

Depending on the study, a perfectly conducted (basically never happens) SFST occurring in ideal lab settings (never happens) in which all clues are observed have a false positive rate between 24%-28%.
Plainly not true. Look at validation studies done in the late 1990's in Colorado, Florida, and California. Field studies show officers making correct arrest decisions in 86% - 91% of cases.

Good afternoon, officer.
If I recall correctly, the field studies you’re referring to allowed officers to use every tool in their arsenal short of a chemical test, and we’re still talking about high false positive rates. When it comes to SFST alone, if I further recall correctly, it was a 28% false positive rate in the… 2005? NHTSA officer training manual, before it was removed entirely from subsequent manuals.
But I promise a quick Google search will return all the results you need on the subject. SFST is just this side of fricking voodoo. Sorry
