UNDERSTANDING FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS IN BOATING DUI CASES

Navigating the waters around Phoenix can be a thrilling experience, but it’s essential to be aware of the regulations concerning boating under the influence (BUI). Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs) are critical tools used by law enforcement to assess impairment in potential boating DUI cases. Just like traditional roadside DUIs, these tests evaluate a boater's coordination, balance, and cognitive abilities. 🌊

However, conducting FSTs in a marine setting presents unique challenges due to the moving environment and safety concerns. Tests like the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), Walk-and-Turn, and One-Leg Stand are adapted to account for these maritime elements. Still, the nuances of a boating FST can lead to complexities, which is why understanding your rights is crucial.

If you find yourself facing a boating DUI, it’s important to have an experienced defense attorney by your side. At Shah Law Firm, we specialize in dealing with the intricacies of DUI and BUI defenses to ensure that your rights are protected. 🚤
