The Latest Tool to Fight DUI
With the dangers of drunken driving so obvious, it's no surprise to often come across stories in the media about the latest efforts to curb DUI and bolster arrests and convictions. The latest story involves a device that records the eye movements of DUI suspects during the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test -- more commonly thought of as when an officer tracks the eye movements of a DUI suspect.
Learn more about this device--dubbed the HawkEye--in the following story. While the story does a nice job of describing what this device does, it does miss on an important point: that such technology is far from a slam-dunk in terms of proving DUI, despite what some may claim.
When it comes to field sobriety tests like HGN, the One-Leg Stand Test and the Walk and Turn (WAT) test and how they may apply in your case, getting in touch with a local DUI attorney is a smart way to gauge truth from fiction.
