• This will set
the stage for the entire test. If the officer does not
follow training and procedure during this stage, it
may affect the validity of the entire test. The officer
must verbally tell the suspect to place their left foot
on the line and to place their own left foot on the
line during demonstration. The person is then told to
place their right foot on the line, ahead of their left
foot, with the heel of the right foot against the toe
of the left foot. This is also demonstrated. The person
is then told to place their arms down at their side.
They are instructed to maintain this position until
told to begin and not to start until told to do so.
They must then indicate an understanding of the test
after being asked if they understand. |
