Saw this story on the news tonight and we got talking about checkstops and field sobriety tests.
First off, I don't care about the new mandatory testing without probable cause. It's never taken much for an officer to claim probable cause to give a field test so this news doesn't concern me one bit.
My real question for the LEOs here is this: If I know I am sober and I know I have crappy balance, can I (politely) ask to go straight to a breathalyzer instead of dancing a newfie jig while touching my nose on the side of the road?

Absolutely all you got to say is that you have a health/medical concern ref balance and that you could possibly get hurt so over to the breathalyzer.
Your not being difficult and safety is all involved concern.
