What is the officer looking for during the initial detention at the scene?
Police officers are trained to note the following "symptoms of intoxication" on their report:
- Flushed face (How does he know your "normal" coloring?)
- Red, watery, glassy and/or bloodshot eyes (Been up 20 hours?)
- Odor of alcohol on breath (Doesn’t non-alcoholic beer smell
just like Bud?) - Slurred speech (How does he know your regular speech
patterns?) - Fumbling with wallet trying to get license
- Failure to comprehend the officer's questions
- Staggering when exiting vehicle
- Swaying/instability on feet
- Leaning on car for support
- Combative, argumentative, jovial or other "inappropriate" attitude
- Soiled, rumpled, disorderly clothing
- Stumbling while walking
- Disorientation as to time and place
- Inability to follow directions or to "divide attention."
