That's your interpretation


No it's not my opinion, it says it very clearly I the statute

If an officer makes a traffic stop it is part of his "official" duties and if he suspected the driver was drunk and performing field sobriety tests, he is investigating. Anyone that interferes with that is breaking the law, lawyer or not.

I would think he would be 'interrogating' at this point, and it would be within the rights of the driver and his lawyer to shut it down to prevent self incrimination.
