Attorney Tracey A. Wood , owner of Tracey Wood & Associates is an aggressive criminal defense attorney in Madison, Wisconsin. She focuses her practice on defending the rights of individuals whether they are charged with drunken driving or more severe criminal charges including murder, sex crimes in Wisconsin, federal conspiracy or seeking an expungement of a previous conviction. She is known throughout the legal community as the foremost authority on Wisconsin OWI DUI laws and has been hailed for her defenses and successful trial and case record. Ms. Wood has been pioneering new frontiers for women in law since she entered practice in 1992. She is the first attorney from Wisconsin ever appointed as a Standardized Field Sobriety Test Instructor, and first Wisconsin attorney to be appointed to the Board of Regents to the National College for DUI Defense held at Harvard Law School. She chairs the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers Strike Force for the state's largest association for criminal defense lawyers and has previously served as the President of that organization. She has authored several articles on defense against drunk driving charges including Challenging Prior Under Influence Convictions, an article discussing U.S. v. Gant in the Wisconsin Law Journal, and she has contributed to the national DUI attorneys' bible by Taylor & Oberman, entitled "Drunk Driving Defense". She has also won many appeals in both the Wisconsin Appellate System (most recently City of Beloit v. Steven Herbst) and the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago (i.e. U.S. v. Andres Perez).
Under the implied consent laws of the state of Wisconsin, police can demand and even force a driver to submit to a sobriety test. See Save Your Driver's License if you refused to submit to a field sobriety test.
When a person is stopped by police on the suspicion of driving while under the influence, police can lawfully request the person to take standardized field sobriety tests. Whether those test results can be used to prosecute the person for a drunk driving offense is a question of law; if the stop was illegal, the results may be able to be suppressed. If the stop was legal, and probable cause existed for the police to make the stop, the results are likely admissable.
In addition to standardized field sobriety tests, police often conduct other tests that go beyond the scope of legal testing. You should be sure to discuss with your drunk driving defense attorney all tests administered by police.
Once police place a person under arrest, they can then demand a blood test. If you refuse, they will ticket you for refusing to submit to a test. They can then force you to submit to the test.
