How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that admission of evidence of defendant’s refusal to perform field sobriety tests did not violate the Fifth Amendment because it was not “the result of governmental compulsion”
- holding that when the initial stop is supported by reasonable suspicion, the suspect does not have a constitutional right to refuse a request to perform FSTs
- “We thus find the . . . distinction . . . between a refusal under an implied consent statute and a refusal to take a constitutionally-permissible field sobriety test to be meaningless.”
