Everyone knows at least one field sobriety test… count backwards; keep your eyes on the pen, one-leg stand and the portable breathalyzer (PBT).  But to which of these tests MUST you submit if stopped for a DUI? You may be surprised to know that you are not legally required to take any of these tests. InIndiana, driving is a privilege [...]
