Answer:
An OVI investigation often begins with a stop for another traffic issue. Officers look for signs of impairment, and the video explains that a driver may decline roadside field sobriety tests even though an officer may lawfully require the driver to exit the vehicle.
An Ohio OVI investigation often starts with a stop for speeding, expired registration, or a lane violation. The officer may then look for reasonable suspicion of impairment based on speech, interactions, and other observations.
The video distinguishes an officer’s authority to direct a driver out of a vehicle from a request to perform standardized field sobriety tests. It explains that a driver may refuse the roadside exercises.
The circumstances of the stop, observations, and testing requests can all matter to an OVI defense.
