Question 7

State V Shevyakov

Answer 7

• If a person invokes Miranda prior to SFST’s, do not ask them anymore questions
and do not ask them to perform field sobriety tests. (This includes Rohrs)
Document what Probable Cause you have and make the determination whether to
arrest for DUII or not. If you arrest the subject, get a warrant for breath and/or blood
and do not read implied consent. (If you believe at the outset that drugs are
involved include urine in the warrant)
• If the person invokes after SFTS’s, do not read implied consent and get a warrant
for breath and/or blood. (If you believe at the outset that drugs are involved include
urine in the warrant)
This does not apply if you simply give someone their Miranda warning. This only
needs to be used if someone invokes their rights.
