Or fingerprints, or lie detectors…

Fun fact there is literally no scientific backing to field sobriety tests. In fact there is a lot of scientific evidence proving they don’t work.

There’s no scientific backing to fingerprints? Whaat

No, there’s no scientific backing to really confidently say that no two fingerprints are alike. That doesn’t change that we can identify them and match them.
If you observe that fingerprints can be matched, that’s all you need to know.
Now lie detectors don’t work at all…

That’s interesting. Any recommended ones? If I had to guess its a lot easier to find flaws in something than it is to prove it 100% right.
As I understand it, these tests are trying to get more data on if the driver is severely intoxicated or has major motor function issues.

You can always take your chances on a blood test…

Yeah, why not use a breath analyzer or something. I am a drunk and could do those test really wasted.

Because it’s harder for cops to discriminate against dark skinned people if they use objective measurements.
